You may or may not get this question in an interview, but not belonging to any is not the answer that employers are asking for if they do ask it. If you don't belong to any nursing organizations, maybe the first question to ask yourself is why not. If you are desiring a job as a critical care nurse, then join the organization before the interview. It's worth it, and it may tip the balance in your favor. Belonging to organizations brings access to other members and cutting edge information. There are lots of nursing organizations to join depending on your interests and career trajectory.

Ok, good start. Take a look at the question again when revising your answer. The question is seeking information about professional organizations that you belong to. For example, is there a national nursing organization that you're a member of? How does it help enrich your experience or knowledge?
