As a CNS you will be on your feet most of the day, and often lifting patients. Are you able to meet the physical demands of this role?

"I have been a nurse for fifteen years, so I fully understand the physical demand on me, in this role. I can meet all requirements including heavy lifting. If I need to take a moment, I will sit down while making notes in patient files. I know my limitations and respect them."

The interviewer would like to know that you can handle the demanding physical requirements associated with nursing. Every day, you will need to lift patients, walk around the hospital, stand for long periods of time, move equipment and beds, and all with a smile on your face! Assure the interviewer that you are capable of meeting these physical demands.

"I fully understand the physical demands associated with being a nurse and, rest assured, I can meet these. I am physically fit and spend my time off often working out, hiking, and attending yoga classes."
