      1st Entry Level Example

      "Confidence is one thing I think is important. It's hard to believe in someone who doesn't believe in themselves."

      Written by Darby Faubion

      1st Answer Example

      "I believe that honesty is important no matter what job title a person holds. I have found that being honest with people creates an atmosphere of mutual trust and respect. Those qualities, I feel, are essential when building rapport with patients and co-workers."

      Written by Darby Faubion

      1st Experienced Example

      "We all possess different qualities and that is what makes a great team. If I were responsible for interviewing and hiring new employees,I would look for someone who has a genuine interest in the job and a desire to grow and learn. None of us knows everything there is to know about each disease or treatment. Being willing to learn and share what we've learned with one another makes us a better team and benefits our patients and those who will need care in the future."

      Written by Darby Faubion

      2nd Experienced Example

      "I believe it is important for healthcare professionals to be honest and committed. I feel we must always be respectful to our team and our patients and this occurs by being honest with them. Likewise, we must be committed both to our team and to our patients. Providing comprehensive, safe patient care requires a full team approach and we must stay committed to one another to ensure we are able to provide that care to patients. We also need to be committed to our patients because they are allowing us the opportunity to care for them."
