If hired at our organization, walk me through how you would enter a patient's room.

When your interviewer poses a question like this to you during your interview, they are looking to ideally hear that you see working with each individual patient as more than just a task. As you prepare an answer for this question, think about how you individualize your care for patients and take a personalized approach with them. As you answer, talk about the personalized approach that you would take and reiterate that you would walk into each person's room with a smile on your face and a positive attitude in tow to be the person that brings a ray of sunshine into their day every time.

"First and foremost, I would knock on their door to let them know that I'm at the door and coming in. This gives a sense of privacy and independence to my patients. Upon entry, I always ensure that I am smiling and upbeat when I ask them how their day is going and if they need anything immediately. This gives them the feeling of security and comfort in ensuring that their immediate needs are fulfilled."
