With patients in the operating room setting, perioperative nurses work hands-on with them in surgical prep, during the actual procedures, and in post-operative care. Because most patients in this setting are experiencing medical care like they've never received before, having some insight into how your patients respond to you will be important to your interviewer. As you try to use direct feedback you've received from patients or through patient survey data you've received, you'll want to focus on your ability to provide great bedside care with empathy and a keen focus on the needs of the patient during a very difficult and trying time.

"Over the last few years, I'm really proud to have had some great patient satisfaction survey feedback come back on the care that I provided for patients. I'm also happy to provide what information I can following the interview. Recent patients who have submitted feedback have said that I was very attentive to their care and willing to do what was needed to make them comfortable and help manage their pain. They always appreciate my cheerful demeanor and positive approach to them, no matter what condition they are hospitalized for. I know these direct patient care skills will transition well to a role as a perioperative nurse and I'm very excited about this opportunity!"
