QUESTION 31 OF 39

What makes you the ideal candidate to become our next PICU nurse?

This is often one of the final questions during your interview and your chance to sell yourself to the interviewer on why you are the best candidate to join their pediatric intensive care unit as a registered nurse. They've been asking a lot of great questions to get to know your skills, your personality, and how you will fit with their neonatal care team and they're now allowing you the chance to give your best sales pitch to them.

"Throughout my career as a registered nurse, I have demonstrated that patient care is a top priority in any job that I have held. It has always been my dream to work in a pediatric ICU unit and I know that everything that I have worked for in my career has brought me here. My compassion and drive to succeed in this position make me the top person for this job, and you'll find that I will quickly be a top-contributing member of your nursing team."

This is a great question to have a prepared (but not rehearsed) answer for. Talk in a way that highlights your skills and how they will benefit the PICU patients you will be working with. You can also discuss your personal traits that you feel put you above the competition for the position.
