If we were to talk with some recent patients that you cared for, how would they describe you and the healthcare you provided?

"Throughout my career, I have been consistently described as knowledgeable, compassionate, and friendly on patient surveys and from the colleagues that I work closely with. Putting patients at ease and making them comfortable has always been my goal and will continue to be as a community nurse in this role. I'm confident that my knowledge, compassion, and educational approach will greatly benefit all the patients that I will work with in this role."

Talk openly and honestly about your strengths in your interactions with patients by speaking from the patients' perspectives. This is an excellent question for you respond with self-reflection. If you have examples of direct feedback that you've received from patients or survey data, do not hesitate to highlight the positive feedback you've received and how that will apply to this job as a community nurse.
