The interviewers want to see that you understand the position you are interviewing for is extremely busy and hear how you will handle the daily stress and pressures of the job. Many in healthcare positions thrive on working in a fast-paced environment and can easily handle the pressures the work entails. Let the interviewers know you are one of those types of people while explaining how you handle working in stressful environments. Also, be sure to mention how you take care of your physical and mental health on your days off to ensure you are ready to handle whatever work may throw at you.

"I have a friend who works on the ward, and he told me how busy they are. That is one of the reasons I applied to this position. I enjoy working in a fast-paced and busy environment and handle the pressure of the job very well. I feel I work best under pressure, like many of my colleagues. To help keep the work stressors from negatively affecting me, I am sure to take good care of my mental and physical health. I work out or practice deep breathing exercises every morning, eat healthy, spend quality time with my family, and get plenty of rest. Taking care of myself allows me to take care of others without letting the pressures of the job get in the way."
