Can you tell us something about yourself?
Try to talk not only about your education and clinical experience, but also about your character, attitudes, and dreams. Nursing is more than just administering vaccinations and measuring temperature. But you surely know that…
Say them how much you like to work with children, that you enjoy being around them, and that you dream of making some difference in life of your patients, or in your local community.
Nurses spend a lot of time with doctors and other healthcare professionals, and it helps if the two of you have something in common, some topics to discuss. That’s why you can mention a few things from your personal life as well–your hobbies, activities you enjoy doing. Show them that you have some life outside of work as well.
A common answer (and certainly a decent one) is saying that you love children, that you enjoy being around them, that you’ve always dreamed of becoming a pediatric nurse, and up to this point did all you could to make your dream come true.
But you can surprise your interviewers with even a better reply. For example, you can say that the early years of life are the most important for each man and woman. We develop our formulas of thinking during our early years, we build our immunity, we overcome certain diseases and illnesses.
When we forget genetics for a moment, we can say that our childhood determines (at least to a great extend) how healthy we’ll be for the rest of our lives, both physically and emotionally. And that’s exactly why you want to work with children. You see the positive impact you can have in your job.
And, considering how badly we fare when we consider the health of an average adult in 21st century (allergies, food intolerance, high blood pressure, cancer almost as common as flu, 22% of US adults experiences mental illnesses, 70% of adults are either overweight or obese), there’s certainly a LOT of work we can do at this front. And everything starts in childhood…
Another good alternative is referring to an extremely positive experience with nursing care from your childhood. You found a role model in a nurse, or you experienced first-hand how a good and emphatic nurse can help a child overcome a difficult period of their life. It inspired you to pursue career in pediatric nursing.
