The NHS health careers webpage lists personal characteristics and skills required for adult nurses. A few skills and characteristics listed include communication, listening, caring, advising, teaching, managing, and counselling. While you might consider additional characteristics and skills as your top three strengths, using keywords off this list is highly recommended so the NHS interviewers can see you have the skills they seek in a Band 7 nurse. After listing your top three strengths, describe how these strengths benefit you and your patients as a nurse.

"My top three strengths are compassion, communication, and the ability to work well under pressure. It takes a lot of compassion to work in this profession and to treat everyone with a caring and kind attitude. Communication and working well under pressure are also essential to effectively communicate with patients and team members in stressful situations. I pride myself on communicating complex medical terms to patients and their family members in ways everyone can understand while actively listening to and addressing their concerns."

As a nurse, I would say my top three strengths are my compassionate and caring nature, my dedication, and my thirst to always be better at what I do. I find myself giving very empathetic care and offering my time to patients that need me at the moment. Sometimes I’m very busy but I find myself sitting down next to an emotionally down patient consoling him or her. This circles up by pushing me to continue to strive to be a better nurse and gain more knowledge so as to give excellent care to my patients, even if it’s sometimes at a personal cost.
