12. Describe the work ethic you would bring to our organization.
How to Answer
When the interviewer asks about your work ethic, they are looking for specific examples of keywords to which they can relate. When you read the organization's job posting or job description for this nurse practitioner role, try to watch out for keywords they look for in a new NP related to work ethic. Talk about their values and how those align well with your own personal work values to prove that you are the right candidate for this job.

Entry Level Example
"If you were to hire me as your next Nurse Practitioner in this department, you will find that I am a mission-driven and respectful individual. As I'm approaching my graduation, I'm searching for an organization whose mission is to serve its patients and community, and I know that I have found that in your organization. I can best be described as a caring and respectful individual that comes to work each day with accountability for my actions and humbleness in all that I do to serve others."

Answer Example
"I am a very dedicated and loyal employee. I saw on your website that you describe your hospital culture as honest, transparent, and go the extra mile for your patients. My work ethic is the same. I am honest, flexible, and come ready to work hard for my patients every day."

Experienced Example
"As my references will agree, I have a strong work ethic and always go the extra mile to help my patients, family members, coworkers, and supervisors. I consistently arrive at least 15 minutes before my shift, do tasks without being told, cover my coworkers' shifts when needed, and work double shifts when short-staffed. I look forward to the opportunity to bring this work ethic to your organization."
