Question 4 of 30

What qualities do you have that will help you succeed in nursing school?

"One ability that will help me in nursing school is my positive attitude. It has helped me in the past. It can be easy to look at the negative side of things, especially when you get a bad grade or you do not get a job that you really wanted. However, I always try to remember the positive of any situation and appreciate the unpleasant outcome as a lesson learned rather than a failure."

      "The qualities that will help me succeed in nursing school are time management and persistence. My persistence is important because when I set a task, I don't stop until I complete it, and it will enable me to stay focused on my studies. However, I am human, and as such, I have limits and will need to take breaks every once in a while. Time management is vital here because I should have fun during my breaks, which will help me absorb the information that I study."

      Chad's Feedback

      You sound confident in your ability to succeed in nursing school, and highlighting your determination and time management ability is a smart approach. To increase the impact of your response, I recommend providing an example of a time when you have displayed these qualities in action.
