Remember that you don't stop being a nurse when you reach a supervisor level. Instead, you use your nursing skills more strategically. Sometimes being a nurse supervisor means having to take on a patient load if you are at a short-staffed facility. For this question, remember to focus on the balance between being in leadership and providing hands-on patient care.

"While working in the Oncology Unit, I dealt with patients who had everything from lung cancer to cancer of the bones. Because I was a supervisor I had a smaller caseload of three patients because we were still a small facility, and I still had to be very hands-on and help provide patient care."
I have worked in several different settings as a nurse including med/surg and telemetry, rehab, long term care, home care/ hospice, and community health. This has allowed me to gain experience with patients that range in acuity from acutely ill to chronically ill and everything in between. I have worked with 6-8 pts in the acute setting and up to 30 in rehab and long-term care settings.
