Yes, I have strong relationship-building skills. I am able to form a good rapport with my patients and their families. For instance, had a patient family member in our Fastrack department and she remembered me from when her dad was hospitalized and she told me how much her father felt taken care of when I was his nurse and how he's usually very anxious in the hospital but I was able to make him feel safe.
Building relationships within the healthcare team, I always make sure to introduce myself to new team members, ask my partners if they need help, and always jump in to help my fellow nurses out. For example, my buddy nurse had a new admission and her call bells were going off in her other rooms so I took it upon myself to answer the call bells to ensure her other patients were safe as well as prevent alarm fatigue in the department by allowing the bells to just keep ringing.

Good! This is a good example, but I would devote time to explaining how you dealt with the patient. What actions did you take to deliver such excellent care? Then, you can explain the result of these actions by explaining the compliment you received as the end result of your care. The interviewer will want to hear how you went about achieving these great results.
