The interviewers ask this question to determine if you are someone who can handle stress on the job. Working as an NHS Band 6 nurse can be stressful and fast-paced, and the interviewers want to decide whether or not you will be able to handle the stress if hired for the position. Talk to the interviewers about your ability to handle pressure in the workplace and techniques you use to minimize job stressors.

Also, focus on letting the interviewers 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.
