"The RN position I held before my current job in pediatrics was at an infusion center, and there I spent most of my days starting and managing patient IVs as they received their infusion medications. Because I worked in the infusion center for so long, starting them is almost second nature to me. Many times, I find that patients are anxious about getting IVs, even in an infusion center environment where they come in every so many weeks to get their medication. The PICU environment will be quite different, and I know that helping to manage and minimize the pain in children is super important. I would be very comfortable in applying my IV skills in the PICU, but would look into receiving some hands-on training with your experienced nurses if hired."

To successfully answer this question, you should elaborate on your ability and experience in starting and managing IVs throughout your career. A more successful answer would include an example of when you successfully handled a difficult circumstance while starting and/or managing an IV. To cap your answer, highlight any experiences you have working IV lines into pediatric patients and emphasize that you are ready to learn and master any additional skills needed on the patients you will be working with in this role.
