"I can only recall one time when there could have been an issue between myself and a supervisor. It was a misunderstanding about a patient's care, but when we talked about it and I showed her my assignment list and my documentation of the work I had done, she realized that everything had been taken care of and the issue was resolved."

Nursing aides report to a nurse who is the team leader, or floor supervisor. It is important to remember when answering this question, do not speak negatively about a supervisor. You can refer (cautiously) to a situation that may have occurred, but use it as a way to speak of how an issue was positively resolved.

"I have never had an issue with a supervisor that was something that we couldn't resolve together. I always try to put myself in the other person's shoes, so to speak. We never really know what kind of day someone is having and I try to remember that a stressful day, whether it has to do with work or something outside of work, can make us all react in different ways. Knowing that, if I feel there is tension between myself and anyone within my work team, I always approach that person with a kind word and ask if there is anything I can do to make the day better."
