Hi I need some good answers to these hard interview questions. thank you...

1. systems thinking ----In your current job, what organizational change have you made or contributed to that you are proud of? How did you go about making the change? What has been the impact of the change?

2.Flexibility/adaptability-----Describe a situation where you were responsible for getting others to make a change or do something. What role did you play and what actions did you take? What was the outcome? If you had to do it would you do anything differently?

3. Creative thinking -----Give examples to illustrate how you have generated ideas that represent thinking outside the box.” How were your ideas received by others? What became of the ideas?

Just like we won't do homework for students, I don't think we should be answering questions like this FOR you. What are YOUR thoughts on these questions? Everyone's experience varies. Yes, you are right- these are tough questions. Look back on your experience, and don't limit yourself to your nursing experience, if you have other experience prior to nursing. For example, I am on a committee for my son's school, and we have written policies regarding candy for parties and things like that, and being a healthcare professional, I had to talk down the militant parents (who want to dictate what parents can pack in their kids' lunches to the extreme) and help edit the wording to make it actually sound like college graduates might have had a hand in this. It took collaboration with the district superintendent, the lunch lady, teachers, parents, a registered dietitian (who has twins in my son's class), and looking at the old policy to revise. So I was able to implement change and have continued to contribute by attending back to school night with info for parents about sugar and teaching kids about healthy choices. It wasn't in a nursing role, per se, but it's relevant.
