Diversity, equity, and inclusion are at the forefront of the minds of all healthcare institutions, both large and small. If asked this question during your interview, you will likely be joining a very culturally diverse team and caring for a diverse patient base. Your interviewer wants to know that you are open to meeting and learning about new people and becoming an integral part of this team as a PICU nurse. They'll also be looking to hear about any diverse environments you have worked and thrived in during your career up to this point.

"I feel so fortunate to have worked in a very diverse environment throughout my career with my current organization. I currently work on a team of nurses who come from all over the country and world and I love being able to learn new things from my colleagues. We all bring a unique perspective and viewpoint to new challenges and this makes us better in the end. As I researched a move to become a pediatric ICU nurse, your organization jumped out to me because of the focused efforts you are taking in ensuring that your workforce is culturally diverse and inclusive."

In an industry as large as healthcare, diversity among peers is inevitable. To be successful, it is crucial to learn how to work with a diverse group of people. Some people are intimidated when faced with learning new cultures and beliefs, but in the healthcare industry, doing so is crucial to provide effective care. Be positive with your response as you discuss culturally diverse environments you have been a part of. If you have been a part of any formal DE&I training or helped lead any efforts in this area, now is a great time to talk about those experiences.
