Question 21 of 55

Tell us about your community involvement. How would this translate to this nurse practitioner role with our organization?

"I was raised by parents who believed that giving back to the community through volunteering was the most important thing you could do. At a young age, I remember volunteering on Christmas afternoons by serving meals to the homeless.
My parents taught me that even if you don't have money to give, you can always find the time. I spend every Sunday afternoon as a health aid at the homeless shelter. Upon researching your organization when I applied for this role, I was so excited to see that you give back to your community by providing wellness checks for uninsured children."

      Answer Example

      "I have a family member diagnosed with diabetes a few years ago, and I am now a volunteer with the American Diabetes Association. There is an annual fundraiser here locally, and I am the co-chairperson for the event. One of the reasons that I applied to this position was because I read about your facility's commitment to employee wellness, and I appreciate that the organization also supports the American Diabetes Association."
