QUESTION 14 OF 20

Healthcare is often called a team sport. How do you approach working in a team environment?

From working with doctors to relying on the other nurses on your unit, you do not do anything independently. Explain the qualities that lead to a good team with a good outcome and address the things that teams should avoid. The goal is to illustrate to the interviewer that you can contribute to a team environment and improve team outcomes.

"Working in a team environment requires strong communication skills and respect for everyone you are working with. Communication could be as simple as greeting everyone in the morning or messaging another provider about a concern before it becomes a problem. I find when you are easy to communicate with and show respect for who you are working with, you have more remarkable outcomes as a team."
