Throughout your career, how have you handled being asked to complete nursing tasks you had never done before?

"I really want to jump in and be a contributing member of the team during Nurse Fellowship training, but I'll always stop and do a check-in before enthusiastically saying I'll do something I'm not sure about. When I started my current position in the PACU, there were many new tasks and procedures I had to learn. Wanting to be oriented and running as quickly as possible, I asked a ton of questions, shadowed the best nurse, and spent extra time learning our work procedures so I could be independent after just four weeks."

This is not the time to say that you would jump in with both feet. The interviewers are not looking for someone who just jumps when someone says jump, but someone willing to jump with confidence and competence. Your job is to provide an answer that illustrates this difference. Some key things to highlight could be your current set of nursing skills and asking for help when you feel you need it.
