In the OR setting, perioperative nurses work closely with patients throughout their care and this includes completing paperwork, prepping for procedures, providing assistance to surgeons in the OR, and monitoring and discharging patients from post-op care. In a busy and hectic environment, your interviewer needs to be confident in your ability to multi-task and ensure no minor detail is overlooked when it comes to overall patient care. This question gives you the chance to talk about your ways of keeping yourself organized in your work and how you keep a clear mind when things get stressful, so take advantage of it by highlighting how you do both in your current position and will continue to do it as their next perioperative nurse.
