Often times, nurse practitioners have great autonomy as the only advanced practice medical professional in the facility. In addition to patient care, nurse practitioners in this setting also provide leadership by educating staff nurses, directing medical codes, and collaborating with families and therapy services. Give an honest answer as to whether you would be comfortable in this setting being the most advanced practitioner and describe any related experience.

"I'm comfortable in this setting as it's similar to my current structure. I oversee the day-to-day medical record reviews, medication reconciliations, treatment planning and rounding, follow-up care and referrals, and advanced care planning. When I need a second opinion or higher-level approval, I'm comfortable calling the physician who provides my oversight. I am a natural leader, so I love to engage the floor nurses in training and education where needed as well."

"Because I have ten years of experience, I feel very comfortable being the primary practitioner on duty. I am very aware of my roles and scope of duties and have no problem reaching out to the physician when I need higher-level feedback or support."
