The interviewer would like to know two things with this question: your intentions within the organization and your dedication to advanced education. Ideally, you plan on staying with this position for two or three years, and any future move would be within and up in the organization. It takes great effort and cost to seek and hire the optimal charge nurse, and the organization is searching for a candidate who is invested in this position and plans on staying in this position long term. It is always a good idea to mention that you would like to take advantage of the tuition reimbursement if available, for it shows commitment to furthering your education.

"I always want to be a part of the leading edge of nursing knowledge, and I always want to be in a position where I can share my love of learning with others. At this stage of my career, my skillset aligns with leading a unit as a charge nurse. I prefer to be a part of the hub of direct patient care, and being a charge nurse allows me to lead and mentor other nurses to excellence. I also want to continue my education in nursing leadership at some point in the next three years."

"My career goal in the next two to three years is to finish my Master's Degree in Nursing Administration and promote to an administrative position within your organization. Two to three years will allow me the opportunity to grow as a charge nurse and have the knowledge to work as an administrator effectively. I was happy to hear that your company offers tuition reimbursement for continued education and will be utilizing that benefit if hired."
I am currently working on my master's degree and plan to be finished with that in the next couple years. I want to continue working with this organization in a role where I can leverage my knowledge and experience as a charge nurse to further improve patient care. I am passionate about promoting positive outcomes for patients and I believe I can benefit the largest number of patients in a supervisory/ administrative role, which will not be possible without the experience I gain here as a charge nurse.
