The interviewer would like to know if you consider yourself a patient individual, as it is a requirement as a nurse. Impatience can cause stress and anxiety in coworkers, your patients, and their family members, so showcase your ability to remain patient and professional in workplace situations.

Interviewers want to hire nurses who are patient and can remain calm in challenging situations. Focus on letting the interviewer know you are patient and professional during difficult times.
Avoid saying you are not a patient person. It requires patience to work as a nurse, and the interviewer wants to see that you can remain calm and professional under pressure.

"Yes, I am a very patient person. I understand that situations are often out of people's control, so it does no good to be impatient and cause further stress to those around me. My patience level is consistent, so I do not need to increase my patience during challenging situations."
"I am a patient person, both at work and in my personal life. At work specifically, I find it easy to remain patient because I am focused on the best outcomes for my patients. If there are times when something happens out of my control, like the delay in the delivery of a new dose of IV antibiotic for my patient, I take a deep breath and make the calls I need to to keep patient care moving forward."
