Talk about a time that you had to deal with a significant change in your work procedures or in your workplace. How did you handle that change?

"My current organization went through a buyout to become what it is now. Due to the buyout, nearly everything about my job changed. We were working on a new EMR, our pay structure changed, our benefits changed, our leadership structure changed, and some of our work processes did too. Knowing about the buyout ahead of time, I was able to prepare myself by keeping in mind that I only can control what I can control. As I saw other coworkers complain, cry, and even look for new jobs, I took this as an opportunity to embrace change and improve the organization. Learning a new EMR and learning new work processes did end up making me a better nurse in the end and for that, I have always been grateful."
