Share with the interviewer more insight into where you completed your nursing program, what degree you graduated with, and if you received any honors during your program. If you won any awards as a student or received any other recognition, now is the perfect time to share that. If you've obtained any certifications or additional training upon graduation, give the interviewer some details about that as well. If you worked in healthcare prior to becoming a nurse and possess(ed) any certifications that would add value, feel free to include that information in your response.

"I recently graduated from X community college with my BSN. I carried a 4.0 GPA and graduated with honors, which I'm extremely proud of. I am CPR certified and passed my NCLEX about two months ago. I'm looking forward to completing my BLS soon and eventually, I would like to pursue my ACLS."
