It is essential to keep a healthy work/life balance to prevent burnout. Talk to the interviewer about how you can maintain that appropriate balance for yourself.

"I find that it's pretty simple to balance life and work with the right company. It doesn't feel like a chore when I enjoy what I do. I am always sure that my family gets my attention first when at home. I take time on the weekends to do things for myself and ensure that I regenerate before the work week begins."

"I make a strong effort to keep a healthy balance by spending my free time away from my cell phone and having more face-to-face time with my friends and family. I indulge in the things that make me happy on my days off. By consistently rejuvenating, I can give even more energy when I am at work."

Focus on assuring the interviewer that you have a healthy work/life balance. The interviewer wants to see that you take time for yourself away from work to decompress from the stressors of the job. Healthcare professionals will often care for others before taking the time to care for themselves, quickly leading to burnout and stress-induced illness.
