QUESTION 16 OF 18

What does having a strong work ethic mean to you?

Work ethic is 'the principle that hard work is intrinsically virtuous or worthy of reward.' When you value the concept of having a solid work ethic, you are showing that you place value in delivering high-quality work.

Having a solid work ethic is essential in any job and extremely important in healthcare. People's lives depend on your dedication as a nurse to going above and beyond for the best possible outcome. The interviewer wants to see that you have a strong inner compass that guides you to deliver work considered 'virtuous' and 'worthy of reward.' Provide evidence that you are committed to doing a terrific job every day.

"To me, having a strong work ethic means taking a task and doing it incredibly well, no matter the circumstances. I have been a nurse for ten years, and every day I deliver work that makes me feel proud. I value my ability to make a difference in the lives of my patients, and I strive to honor my profession by doing my best every day."
