How do I explain leave of absence in interview

I have an interview tomorrow with HR at a local hospital. I am currently employed in LTC but am on LOA due to a work related injury and will be released for normal duties in about a week. (This is from the physician). I had applied for this job BEFORE the injury. What should I tell HR when I interview tomorrow. They are bound to find out. I don't want o jeopardize this job because I have been trying for a year to get into the hospital. (I don't have a BSN and it's really hard to get in without a BSN)

Thanks

Just tell the truth if they ask. You will have to do a work physical as long as you pass you should be ok.
