Working as a PICU nurse comes with many highs and lows that are experienced on a shift-by-shift basis. The work can be mentally, physically, and emotionally draining, especially given the fact that a number of patients don't survive their diagnoses and the patient population is so vulnerable. It will be important to your interviewer that you display the passion and mental fortitude necessary to be excellent in this field of nursing and make a huge difference to the pediatric patients and families you will be working with. In your answer, you want to fully display your passion and dedication to the day-to-day duties of the job and the patient population you will be caring for. Make sure your interviewer walks away knowing that you are dedicated and passionate about joining their team as a PICU nurse.

"I pursued a career in nursing to work with and care for the pediatric population of patients and have loved every minute of working with young kids and teenagers over the course of my career. I've built a great skill base and am looking to take the leap into the PICU setting because I'm confident that my communication skills, sharp clinical skills, and emotional stability will be a great asset to any PICU that I join. I'm very outcome driven for my patients and working with patients that are in the worst state possible will be an environment that I can thrive in."
