No matter what background you come from in your professional life, being passionate about working in and caring for patients in the OR setting is something your interviewer will be trying to gauge. You'll really want to sell your skills and passion to your interviewer to show that you are committed to a long-term role as a perioperative nurse with their team. This is a great time to mention a personal story or a professional experience that has inspired you to choose this path. No matter how you answer, make sure you speak with passion about why this is the right path for you and your future as a nurse.

"Throughout my career, I've found myself to be most motivated and inspired in a true team setting, where medical professionals come together to truly change the lives of patients. Some great colleagues that I've worked with over the last few years have had great things to say about their time as a perioperative nurse and I see a future here as one in which I will be engaged at all times. I'm also really excited for the intensity and excitement of practicing in the OR because my style of nursing fits in well here."
