At some point during your time with them, your interviewer will want to know what would keep you motivated to do a good job at their organization, even on the toughest of days. Prior to your interview, put some thought into what drives you personally to be your best on the job. Perhaps you like working with children or diagnosing complicated issues. Discuss your commitment to providing exceptional patient care to prove that you are the best candidate for their next Nurse Practitioner.

"I love being an NP because the work is personally fulfilling and professionally challenging. No two days are the same as a Nurse Practitioner, so I get to use a variety of my skills and knowledge to help patients in the best way possible."

"I most enjoy helping people in their time of need, so becoming a Nurse was a natural path for me. When you don't feel well, you feel vulnerable and need people around you that are kind and knowledgeable. I like to take action when others are in need, and this ultimately led me down the path of obtaining my Master's degree and FNP certification."

"In my ten years as an NP, no one day has been the same. I'm appreciative because not many people get to say that about their work and truly mean it. I learn so much from the other healthcare professionals around me, and I do feel a sense of responsibility knowing that I can save lives and help cure people of their worst ailments."

My favorite thing about being a nurse is connecting with patients on a deeper level. I enjoy getting to know patients beyond their diagnosis. The satisfaction I get knowing I can be both a shoulder to lean on in times of crisis, as well as a trusted member of the medical community, makes my choice in careers one of the best decisions I've ever made.

What I like about this career is that I'm able to help people in general. I take care of patients and help my colleagues achieve their desire goals through encouragement and coaching. When I see a co-worker struggling with something they don't understand, I step in and show them how to do it. For example, I had a co-worker who didn't know how to do tracheostomy care. I stepped in and showed her how to do it. I couldn't have chosen any better career.
