Nurses love their jobs for many reasons, such as the ability to make a difference in their patients' lives, improving health and well-being, the work schedule, the opportunities for professional growth, the pay, and the benefits. The interviewers want to hear what you like most to ensure you will be a good fit for the NHS. Most NHS Band 6 nurse positions say they seek a compassionate, motivated, and enthusiastic nurse in the job description. If you respond that you love the pay or benefits the most, the interviewers will determine that your passion is to make money and not to make a difference in your patients' lives.

"My favorite part of working as a nurse is helping my patients feel more comfortable when they are sick or injured. When a patient is in pain, I love when I can give them pain medication that helps make them feel better. If a patient is cold, I like bringing them warm blankets. I will bring books or magazines if they want something to read. If a patient wants something cold to drink, I will bring them a cold beverage. I grew up with eight younger siblings and have always been a nurturing person, which is why I pursued a career in nursing."

As a nurse, I love to help my patients when they are in need. It can be medicine, or personal care, which makes them more comfortable. I feel so content when they express their gratitude with words or a smile. By the end of the day, it provides me with complete satisfaction.
