Job Interview: What are your strengths and weaknesses?

Discussing your strengths and weaknesses can be nerve wracking. How do you go about it? What's your biggest weakness?

How do you answer this question? What are some examples of strengths in nursing and weaknesses that have a positive spin?

They want to have a skype interview and a week later a in person interview. I'm very nervous as I don't know what they are going to ask me or what they're looking for in the Skype interview. I have never worked in the OR but I worked in Med Surg Telemetry before and Psych, also did a bit of home care and Doctor's Office perdiem work.

What kind of questions will they ask me? Do I have to know anything OR related? Any technical questions? What can I do to make a good impression? I'm really panicking right now because I really want that position and don't want to blow it!!

Hello!

You will be surprised that most of the education you will give to your patients will come naturally from you. YOu will do a lot of teaching about anatomy, physiology, and medication purposes and side effects. As you work in an unit for several weeks, you will find some things repetitive, but new to the patients. Your confidence will build and at the same time you will help your patents understand and avoid risk with the medications they go home with.

It's a process. If you are meant to be a nurse, the skill will develop beautifully!

Don't be afraid of being worried about it, but reiterate that your commitment to serve and peer support, will guide you through it and succeed!

Good Morning,

I am a new RN, and I really don't have any experience, I am currently applying for jobs, but everything requires experience. My questions are how to answer

What motivates you in a professional setting?

What are the top 3 values you look for in an employer?

Can someone help with some answers to these questions?

Thank you so much.

This is not a question that anyone can give you an answer for. This boils down to you and what you are looking for in an employer.

Thank you.
