Avoid saying things like 'lack of sleep' or 'difficulty maintaining positive relationships with doctors.' Feel free to be honest about the things you struggle with, but do it in a way that shows both your humanity and your leadership. As well, don't hesitate to talk about ways you try to make this part of the job better for yourself.

"For me, the hardest part of being a nurse is working with a patient that is near the end of their life. I tend to wonder if there is anything more that I could have done to help make their care better. I have to remind myself that I did all that I could to help them have the best quality of life and treatment."
I find the hardest part about being a nurse is the attachment to patients. I think that this can also be the most rewarding aspect of being a nurse too! But, as a nurse you want the best outcomes for your patients and sometimes a patient doesn't improve the way you were hoping even though you have given them the best care possible. I can be hard on myself sometimes and often wonder if there was something that could've been differently for the patient.
