Can you work independently, or do you prefer to be closely supervised?

Tell the interviewer that you work well independently and work well with teams. The interviewer wants to hear that you can work in different types of situations but that you do not need close supervision.

"I am comfortable working independently but also enjoy collaborating with others in a team environment. I do not prefer close supervision as I am confident in my skills once I learn something new. If I have a question or require assistance from a coworker or supervisor, I will not hesitate to ask them."

"One of my favorite things about working in the hospital environment is having a team of nurses to work with. When you work on a great team, you have each other's backs and you inspire each other to provide the best care possible. That being said, I of course can independently manage my own patient load--I will at times depend on my team for tasks that take more than one person, such as turns or bed baths. I like to know that management is available for questions and oversight, but I don't need close supervision. I'm able to reach out for guidance if I have a question or need help."
