Talk about how you typically prioritize your work as an RN. How do you feel your methods will help you in this role?

"Juggling a busy workload has been something I've been working on and perfecting throughout my career. I started my career by working on busy inpatient units. To successfully navigate a full unit required the ability to prioritize the highest needs first based on acuity, and then staying organized to ensure that no tasks were left undone. As I've transitioned to home health nursing, I've developed more skills relating to time management and planning. I'm confident that these skills will help me step into this community nursing role and handle the job with ease."

To best showcase your ability to handle the multitude of daily tasks and project work you will be doing as a community nurse, it's best for you to discuss a prior role where you had to balance a wide array of work and competing priorities. Your interviewer knows that the ability to utilize time management skills and organizational resources will be vital for the nurse they hire, so be sure to highlight the ways that you keep yourself organized in your work.
