When preparing for a nursing job interview, it’s a good idea to be ready to share real-life experiences and stories.

In the course of interviews, nurses often have to use storytelling to illustrate past experiences or describe how they would handle potential situations. Think back to your own experiences on the job and try to summarize them as succinctly as possible.

You can then use these stories to explain how you have or how you would take care of a situation with a patient. You can impress a hiring manager by being ready to share your own experiences in a thoughtful, compelling way.
