The interviewer wants to know that you can assess a situation, weigh your options, decide on a course of action, and implement a solution confidently. As a nurse, when you need to make an important decision, it's essential that you critically think through the scenario and the outcome. You certainly do not make decisions based on a 'gut instinct,' and you do not delay important decisions because you need to do extensive research. You also know that, although you may need the right people to weigh in before you make a decision, asking a multitude of team members for their opinion is not a resourceful approach. Walk the interviewer through your decision-making process and show them that your approach is a good fit for their work environment.
