Many factors contribute to burnout from the added stress of continuous and long clinical shifts, demanding call schedules, lack of social interaction, and technical issues. The interviewers want to hear that you will be successful at managing your stress and will have the ability to stay calm and professional in stressful situations. Describe when you have worked in stressful situations and how you manage your stress.
