The NHS website has an entire page dedicated to the personal characteristics and skills required to work as an NHS nurse. These skills include being highly organized, flexible, observant, and able to prioritize effectively. They also mention daily that you will use a broad range of skills, such as communication, teaching, advising, counseling, caring, managing, and judgment. Interpersonal skills are also essential as you will reassure and advise patients, relatives, and carers during challenging situations where they may be having difficulty coping.
While the interviewers ask your opinion, using some of the skills and characteristics mentioned on the NHS website in your response is recommended to show the interviewers you have the skills they seek in a Band 6 nurse.
