      Entry Level Example

      "I am new to the area of addiction nursing, so I may not be qualified to make comparisons. I feel comfortable saying that I chose to work in addiction care because I have a focused interest in addictions and the associated medical conditions and treatments."

      Written by Rachelle Enns

      Answer Example

      "I suppose all nurses could tell one thing or another that makes us feel like the area we work in is unique. All nursing departments have their own uniqueness."

      Experienced Example

      "I handle stress very well, and when you call my references, they will attest to this fact. When I am under pressure on the job, I focus on the task at hand and make sure not to get distracted. Staying on deadline is very helpful, and I will delegate when necessary to alleviate some stress."

      Anonymous Answer

      "As a nurse, we focus on all patients holistically. Nursing works in areas where management concentrates on things you can interpret and analyze visually, like vital signs and physical assessments. The difference with Addiction is a disease of the brain and focuses more on psycho-social aspects of their life."
