The interviewer would like to learn more about your interests as well as your ability to function well as part of a team. Those who are successful in extracurricular activities understand how to work well with others to achieve common goals and likely possess interpersonal skills and effective communication skills. Consider activities you've participated in and describe ways those may benefit you in the nursing program. If you haven't, it's okay to be honest. Try to think of another area you could use in your example, like volunteer experience or student leadership opportunities you may have had in school.

"I was our class secretary for two years, and in this role, I developed strong communication skills that I feel would transfer well into the nursing program. I learned to create written announcements and memorandums that clearly communicated updates and events to the student body. I also learned how to actively listen during meetings and to take exceptional notes. I believe all of these skills will help me work with patients and to adhere to documentation best practices."

"I played many sports all four years of high school, including basketball, volleyball, and track. Doing so as an underclassman taught me how to be a follower and how to learn from others to develop my own skills. As an upperclassman, I was able to then coach and mentor the younger students on the team. I learned how to communicate effectively, be a team player, and resolve conflicts within the team. I feel all of these skills will transfer well into nursing school and help me be more successful as a student nurse."
