Working in the healthcare profession is rewarding and stressful at the same time. While your colleagues and patients may feel like family, the interviewers want to see that you have a personal life and support system away from work. It is essential that midwives have a healthy work/life balance to keep stress levels down to prevent injury, illness, and burnout. Describe how you have found that healthy balance between your personal and professional life.

"I find a healthy balance between work and my personal life by differentiating the two. When I am at work, my patients and colleagues get my undivided attention. The same goes for when I am at home. I give my family my full attention and remember to stay present in the moment. If I am thinking about a particular patient or case, it is distracting from my family. I also get plenty of rest and exercise when away from work so that I am refreshed and rejuvenated for my next shift."
