This is a tricky question, so think it through ahead of your interview and be prepared to give an answer that illustrates that you are 'coachable' without being too dependent or needy. You also want to project that you are confident and competent without being arrogant or troublesome for the management. Your interviewer wants the best of both worlds in looking for a new Registered Nurse to join their team, so be prepared to describe your competency, initiative, and willingness to both ask for and receive supervision and direction.

"I think it depends on the length of orientation I receive for the position. I am confident that I bring a level of competency to the position with my experience, but every unit is different. I can be a self-starter with minimal supervision with regular cardiac catheter patients, but I would like access to supervision with more complicated patients. And I always appreciate supervision and critique from nursing leadership to learn and improve."
I feel 2-3 weeks would be sufficient. I am confident in my nursing skills, but I will need time to get comfortable with your workflow and learn your procedures. This is a new area of nursing for me, but I am excited to learn new things.
