A skill that is essential to have as a nurse is the ability to think and act quickly. Depending on where you work, you will have to make decisions regarding patient care quickly, sometimes more often than other nurses. For example, if you work as a nurse in accident and emergency, you will have to quickly make decisions more often than nurses who work in a non-urgent setting. Regardless, the interviewers would like to hear of a time you had to quickly make a decision regarding a patient, what the situation was, and the outcome.
