Talk about a difficult case you handled as a nurse. How did it help you become a better nurse, and how will you use these skills to support your team as our Band 7 Manager?

"One of the most difficult cases I've ever had was educating parents and my team on providing proper end-of-life care to a terminally ill child as a pediatric hospice nurse. In nursing, it can be emotionally difficult to separate emotions from providing great care. As your next Band 7 Manager, my experience in these situations would be very beneficial to the Band 7 team I would lead, and I look forward to bringing that experience into action here."

Tell the interviewer about a challenge you have faced on the job. It could be a challenging staffing decision you had to make because a member of your team did not provide adequate patient care or a situation with a difficult patient in which you had to coach your staff on the proper response. Highlight how your experiences have prepared you well for becoming the ultimate team leader and manager as their next Band 7 Manager.
