The interviewer asks this question to determine if you are someone who can handle stress on the job. Working as a nurse can be stressful and fast-paced, and the interviewer wants to determine whether you will be a good fit for the team. Talk to the interviewer about your ability to handle pressure in the workplace and techniques you use to minimize job stressors.

Focus on letting the interviewer know you understand how to decompress away from work, so you are ready to mentally handle the pressures of your job. When nurses understand the stress factor of their job and have healthy ways to relieve stress, they are less apt to burn out or become sick or injured from stress.

"I understand this job is stressful, and I am prepared for that. If I feel overly stressed, I will discuss this with my supervisor or a coworker who understands what I am going through. In addition, I eat a healthy, balanced diet, exercise, and spend time with my family on my days off. Taking care of myself mentally and physically prepares me to handle stressful situations."
"While on my shift, I manage my stress by staying hydrated, taking deep breaths when things get tense, being very organized, and asking for assistance when I need it. To manage my stress overall, I run and hike on my days off, and I practice meditation."
