Well, obviously, roser13, it wasn't "Do you feel comfortable going on a nursing forum to discuss sensitive information with a bunch of disembodied nurses who are in front of their computer screens?"

If you really want to know, send her a PM!

Love & warm fuzzies to you.

Agree. :D

Anyway, could it be "what are your strengths & weakneses" ? I once had an interview where the interviewer asked a whole bunch of situational questions and then out of nowhere, she asked "So if you were any color on the rainbow, what would you be?" I was thinking uhhh WHO on earth asks that?

I'll PM you

This gives you an opportunity to sell yourself. In other words, "Tell me about your strength and weaknesses." Of course, answer in light of the nursing profession. Make sure your weaknesses can be turned around and make them strengths. For example: Strengths - your're punctual, a critical thinker, dedicated and caring, etc. Weaknesses - pay attention to detail and sometimes it takes you longer to complete a task BUT that you do it thoroughly and correct. See what I'm saying? You'll do well; go in there confident and well-dressed and this should do the trick.
