"One of the greatest aspects of my nursing career has been helping patients understand their conditions and teaching them the life changes they can make to live a healthier and more fulfilling life. For me, educating patients has always been about ensuring they understand every aspect of their condition and I do so by asking them questions and allowing them the opportunity to ask questions. Over the last few years, a close friend from nursing school has told me about all of the rewards of being a community health nurse. I'm confident I will thrive when talking to and providing information to the public in this role. I'm comfortable and confident in front of large groups and will always try to make things fun and engaging."

Education and providing medical advice is a huge component of community health nursing, so you want to highlight the skills and abilities that you will bring to this role. If you have direct experience providing large scale presentations on health information, be sure to talk about that experience and what you learned that you can bring to this role. If you don't have this direct experience, there isn't a need to fret. If that is the case, you'll want to elaborate on your individual patient education skills and be sure to bring up a time where educating a patient made a big difference for them. In the end, make sure your interviewer walks away from your time together confident in your ability to handle this aspect of the job.
