"I believe healthcare providers, as a whole, should have a caring and compassionate personality. We see people at their worst. They are sick and often afraid. It is up to us to be patient and kind as we are working and caring for others."

"I truly believe that a nursing aide can have a great impact on a patient's recovery. It is more than giving baths or fixing hair and makeup. Having a strong work ethic and professional attitude is important. However, having an approachable, caring attitude helps patients feel more at ease which reduces the stresses that come along with being in a dependent state."

Each person you meet has his own personality. Certain jobs require specific characteristics of those who are performing the job. The interviewer really wants to know what you would consider a valuable characteristic or trait of someone who is a nursing aide..

"Being a nursing aide seems to be a world of its own sometimes. We take care of some of the patients who can't take care of themselves.. I believe that someone who works in this specialty needs to be very compassionate and know how to exercise patience."
