19. How do you respond in an emergency situation?
How to Answer
If a woman walked in carrying her dog who had just been hit by a car, what would you do? Stay calm! In an emergency you will need to move quickly because you never know how much time you have. Think of yourself as the nurse's assistant of the vet clinic working diligently to save your patient. You're role is to support the animal and your staff by providing emergency first aid, holding the animal and cleaning up. Tell the interviewer that you would listen to direction and stay calm in this type of situation. Remember, you have a team to support you too! Be a team player and be confident in your abilities!
