"I work very well under pressure. I can always remain calm and professional when faced with stressful situations. I find the best thing to do when there is a lot of pressure at work is to stay organized. I create a list, prioritize the most urgent assignments, and delegate work where I can. If I stay focused and know exactly what needs to be done, work stressors do not affect me."

"I'm accustomed to working in a busy clinic, so a fast-paced environment like this would not be a cause for concern. I'm often in high-pressure situations where I have competing demands and priorities, and I work through these situations by remaining calm and focused. I can discern what is a true priority, for example, a patient at my desk needing help versus a lesser priority, like refiling charts. I make sure that I prioritize people first, especially those who need immediate care or attention. I keep an open line of communication with my manager, keeping her in the loop if I fall behind on a task or need direction on what is most important to complete that day. I'm very organized and keep my to-do list at the front of my desk, and I also keep my workspace neat, so I don't lose things and constantly have to track them down. If I feel stressed or whelmed, I will ask my manager if I can take a break to regroup or ask a colleague for help."
