In nursing interviews, one question that often catches candidates off guard is about strengths and weaknesses. While it may seem like a simple question, it holds significant weight in the decision-making process.

In this episode, we're going to discuss a common interview question we all have heard before: "Can you tell us about your strengths and weaknesses as a nurse?" Now, this question is all about self-awareness, so don't be scared of it!

I'm going to walk you through a neat little approach to tackle it head-on. Stick to this approach, and trust me, you'll shine in your interviews by showing not just your self-awareness, but also your dedication to always improving.

Key takeaways:

01:38 The intention behind asking the question is to assess self-awareness

02:09 Common mistakes in answering the question with generic and vague responses

02:44 Approach to preparing for the question: start with weaknesses and finish with strengths

04:43 Example of weakness and how it has been addressed or improved
