This is one of the most common interview questions to be asked during an interview, as well as asking about your greatest strengths. This question is asked to see that you are self-aware and humble enough to recognize you have a weakness as a registered nurse.

As an interviewer, the most common weaknesses I hear from nurses are spending too much time doing paperwork, lack of clinical experience, difficulty delegating or prioritizing tasks and paying too much attention to detail. I like to hear that you realize you have a weakness, do not let it interfere with your job, and are taking steps to turn your weakness into a strength.
