Focus on providing an example of when you had your ethics tested as a healthcare professional. If you are new to this field, use an example from a previous job or while attending school. Some examples could be witnessing someone cheat or steal something.

"I had my ethics tested at my last job. I was in charge of the narcotics on the floor, and a coworker asked me to do something illegal. I told them I would not participate in illegal activity and that they had asked the wrong person to help them. I reported them to my immediate supervisor, who told me they were under investigation for something similar. I will not tolerate illegal or unethical activity, as I am an honest person who does everything by the book."

"Since I am new to this industry, I will use an example from a previous job. I had my ethics tested while working at a retail store. I saw an employee put some items in her purse without paying for them and then left on her break. I went to the break room to ask if she would like me to ring the items up, and she told me she didn't know what I was talking about and to mind my business. I cannot tolerate people who lie and steal, so I told my supervisor about the incident. They replayed the surveillance cameras and saw I was telling the truth. After that, she was fired, and I received a promotion to Assistant Manager."
