"During my nursing internship in an emergency department, I was sure to take the time to examine how I felt after a shift. I understand as an LPN that I must address my emotions right away and never let them bubble up. I like to write, so I plan to use journaling as an outlet for any feelings that need resolving after an emotionally charged shift."

"Any job can be stressful at times; however, as LPNs, we handle some of the most delicate patient care situations. If I work an especially stressful case, I know that it is ok to reach out to co-workers within the unit and ask for help when needed."

As you likely know, providing care to sick individuals can be very stressful. Each shift presents what could be a life or death situation. The hiring official needs to know that you can handle stress. Moreover, how you deal with stressful situations speaks volumes. In an LPN interview, be prepared to provide examples of how stress impacts you.

"As a Licensed Practical Nurse, I realize my delivery of care is crucial for positive patient outcomes. This thought can be stressful, but I always try to compartmentalize my stress and channel it healthily. I have a strong support network among my coworkers. Outside of work, I utilize a gym membership and use exercise to help relieve some of the stresses of the day."
