Getting a foot in the door as a PICU nurse can be tough as it is a highly sought-after nursing subspecialty, one where many nurses want to end up in during their careers. The team considering you likely has a very well-qualified candidate pool, so your interviewer gives you the opportunity to discuss why you feel you should be their top candidate. Make sure to prepare your brief sales pitch that combines how your knowledge, skills, and passion will combine to help you step into the PICU nurse role with ease and how it's a good fit for the long haul. Don't hesitate to also touch on the fact that you are drawn to the institution you are interviewing with by showing how their mission and values speak to you.

"Stepping into a pediatric intensive care unit like this where the most vulnerable patients are being treated and cared for is something I've been working toward my entire career. If I'm fortunate enough to be hired as your next PICU nurse, I would bring a wealth of experience in the pediatric outpatient setting, the emergency care setting, and the surgical setting. My ability to connect with adolescents, toddlers, and infants would be a great asset to this already amazing team. Additionally, the experience I bring in providing a calming voice and a listening ear to family members of your patients would be second to none. I want you to also know that I would be committed to this role for the remainder of my career and I don't want you to have any reservations about my long-term commitment to this role and team."
