This question challenges you to think about how you act as a leader in your daily life. Even if you're not leading a team, you can still demonstrate the qualities of a leader! The interviewer wants to hear that you have the leadership qualities they seek in a nurse.

If you have previously worked as a nurse, focus on giving an example from your industry. If you are new to the field, provide an example of how you have demonstrated leadership qualities at church, school, sports, or a previous job.

"Yes, I do. It's so important to lead by example because I never know who is watching. That applies to stepping foot in the unit or behaving on social media when tied to the healthcare industry. No matter the situation or where I find myself, I always act accordingly to be a real leader."
"Yes, I think it's important to demonstrate leadership qualities even when not in a leadership position. In the units where I have worked as a staff nurse or a travel nurse, my teammates have often come to me to bounce ideas off of or for me to help them talk through a task that is new to them. To me, being a leader means being calm, competent, and available to my coworkers, even if I'm not in the charge nurse or other leadership position."
