"This is such a great question because the core values at the Mount Sinai Hospital are essential for any healthcare organization to live and breathe. But empathy is the value that speaks to me the most and is the reason I have trained to become an RN. The day-to-day care of patients, making them feel at home and making their day brighter during a difficult time, is something that I look forward to bringing to your patients in this role."

"I can honestly say that all of the core values at the Mount Sinai Hospital are values I've strived to live by throughout my career. As I've grown throughout my career and been a part of many amazing teams, your core value of teamwork resonates with me today. Complex patient issues typically aren't solved by just one person, and working as part of a team to provide great outcomes is something I would look forward to helping bring here on your team."

As you research Mount Sinai Hospital before your interview, you'll find that safety, equity, agility, creativity, empathy, and teamwork are the six core values that drive what they do every day. On their website's mission and values page, the institution outlines what each of those values means. Before your interview, think about which one of these values means the most to you, and come to your interview prepared to talk about how you will live this value on the job.
