Why do you have a passion for working in the surgical setting?

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.
