"In looking at opportunities for a promotion to a Band 7 level nurse over the last six months, it was important for me to find a role in the operating theatre as that's where I've grown my career to this point. This opportunity seems like such a great opportunity for me and one I'd be able to step into and have success from day one. I fully understand that my perceived weakness is being a new Band 7 nurse and I would have to say that is the one weakness I would have. However, over the last four years, I have been responsible for overseeing day shifts in our operating theatre with a team of up to six nurses at a time. I've learned great skills in delegating work and making critical decisions. If I'm fortunate enough to be offered this position, I would plan to spend a large portion of my orientation focusing on getting up to speed on budgeting processes, recruitment of new staff, and how training is administered to both current and new staff. I'm excited to take on this challenge and know I can succeed!"
