How do you keep up with the constant changes in the nursing and healthcare field?
The interviewer wants to see that you are passionate enough about what you do. They want to hire someone who is empowered to want to learn all that they can to improve their craft. Talk about conferences, seminars, etc that you've attended or have been part of that have made an impact on you and made you a better nurse.
"In addition to keeping up with my continuing education requirements for nursing certifications, I also teach workshops and classes on childbirth to new parents. I have an open dialogue with my team to understand their learning needs and interests and create training plans to help them succeed."
I enjoy listening to nursing podcasts while I am driving, especially when I am short on time. Reading journal articles and watching webinars has also been super helpful. As a nurse manager I am required to have monthly staff meetings. At each meeting I choose a topic that I feel would be helpful to update staff on and create a short educational piece during the meeting. This helps me stay up to date on changes as well as keeps my team up to date as well.
