The interviewer wants to ensure you understand the demands of being a nurse and that you are prepared to work off-shifts, overtime, weekends, and holidays. Assure the interviewer that you are familiar with the scheduling requirements and that you are prepared and willing to work those required shifts.

"My mother was a nurse, so I'm very familiar with the demands of the job. I understand that nursing is an around-the-clock job, and there will be times I have to work off-shifts, come in early, stay late, and take my turn on weekends and holidays. I have no problem doing so and will not have any obstacles that prevent me from committing fully to my classes and eventually my shifts."
