How to Answer
This question will give the interviewer an inside look at how you think and what motivates you. This is an opportunity to let the interviewer see inside you, not just watch perform a task. Be open.

Entry Level
"To be able to care for a child during a time that is so stressful and to be able to touch the lives of others in some small way is meaningful beyond words. When a parent looks me in the eye, gives me a hug, and thanks me for making a difference in the life of their child, the feeling is remarkable."

"There are many things about my job that feed my spirit, or make me feel like I've made the right career choice. I love it when my patients begin to feel better and I can walk in their room and hear them laugh or when they smile after being sick for so long and not feeling like it. There is just something about being a pediatric nurse that makes me feel like I truly can make a difference."
