Working so closely with your team in a stressful career, it's inevitable that you will have moments where you don't get along. The best thing you can do when answering this question is show your interviewer that you are consistent. Just as you follow the rules and regulations, offer patient care, and have a great attitude, you prioritize your relationships with your coworkers, listen to them, and don't take anything personally. Communicate. Think about those small yet significant ways you maintain those work relationships.

"I've found the best way to resolve conflict with coworkers is to work it out directly with them. Asking them to lunch or to join you for a short break to discuss the situation works best for me. It gives us time to get away from work and discuss the problem during our downtime."

"Luckily, I have had good coworkers and supervisors with minimal conflict. If I have an issue with a colleague, I like to nip it in the bud. I ask them to speak in private, address the issue, and devise a resolution that makes us both happy."
