The interviewer wants to hear if you have been disciplined during your nursing career to determine if they will have issues with you if hired. As with any interview question, be honest in your response, as the interviewer will find out if disciplinary action was taken against you during your background investigation. If you have been disciplined, tell the interviewer what happened and the outcome.

"Yes, I had disciplinary action brought against me during my second year as a nurse. I had a patient die during my shift, and the family filed a complaint of negligence against me. The state board of nursing found the complaint invalid after their initial review and investigation, and the complaint was dropped. I have never had any other disciplinary issues since then."

"No, I have never had disciplinary action brought against me as a nurse. I always follow my scope of practice and the policies and procedures of my employer. I would continue to do the same if hired by your organization."
No, I have never had disciplinary action taken against me. I do try to make sure I know and am following policies and procedures of the places I am working as well as ensure I am utilizing evidence-based practice in the care of my patients to prevent mistakes and poor patient outcomes.
