"I think it's normal to have hesitations on one level or another. For me, I fear that I may miss something when I am caring for a patient. Nurses are the eyes and ears of doctors. I always want to go home at the end of my day, knowing that I gave everything I could to improve the life and health of someone else."

"Honestly, not a day goes by that something doesn't cross my mind, and I wonder if I could have done more or taken a different approach to the type of care I have provided for a patient. Of course, I give all I have and am very dedicated to my patients. I suppose part of what keeps me going, as an LPN, is knowing that I make a difference in the lives of others every single day."

We all have factors that make us second guess our wor from time to time. Recognizing those fears is the first step in overcoming them. This question is an opportunity for the interviewer to get to know you on a personal level. Being willing to talk openly and vulnerably showcases the fact that you are self-aware, which is an incredible quality to have as a healthcare professional.

"My greatest fear about being a nurse is that I am not learning and growing fast enough to save more people. I know that we can't save everyone, but as an LPN, I want to give everything that I can to those who trust me with their life."
