Hospital Nurse Question:

Some nurse managers might ask this common nursing interview question in place of the one about values, or as a follow-up question. It also gives the candidate the opportunity to tell more of their personal story.

The hardest part about answering this nurse interview question is that you want to be honest, without sounding trite. “I just want to help people” is a phrase that has been heard too often in nurse job interviews.

So think about the real motivators in your own life, practice what you want to say, and keep it relatively short.
