Given the current state of healthcare around the globe, many studies prove that stress and burnout are very high among nurses. You are likely already aware of this fact as you've worked your way up to the Band 7 level of nursing. Theatre nurses are subjected to the additional stress of short staffing, high caseloads, and long work hours so your interviewer needs to be assured that you would come with the mental fortitude to keep your stress levels manageable. Your interviewer will be looking to hear how you destress and take care of your physical and mental health outside of work, so be sure to open up about that. Additionally, don't hesitate to discuss how you've been successful at preventing burnout up to this point in your career.
