Has there ever been a time when you had to make a decision based on good ethics when others would not?

Careers in healthcare require ethical conduct at all times. The interviewer wants to know that, even if your peers are not willing to stand up for what is right, you will be. If you can give an example of a time you had to stand up for the right, share it. Just remember to never mention names or specific information that could result in the compromise of patient confidentiality.

"When I was in college, someone in my class stole a copy of a final exam before it was given and distributed copies to others in the class. The instructor found out said that, unless the person who stole the test came forward, the whole class would be given an 'F' for their grades. I had been approached by someone with a copy of the test and I privately told the instructor that I knew who had taken the exam. The instructor was kind enough to keep our conversation private and made a new test to be administered. I didn't want to be involved in the frustration of the situation, but I also didn't want innocent students to receive failing grades because of someone else's bad decision."
