Hospice Nurse Interview Question:

Tell me do you mind giving me an example of a time when you displayed compassion during your work?

About a year ago, I was caring for a lady who was within hours of the end of her life after dealing with a form of skin cancer that is very hard to treat. She was extremely anxious because she was estranged from her family and did not want to die alone. I assured her that I'd be by her side when the moment came, and she wouldn't have to worry about her fear coming to pass. I sat with her for about an hour after she expressed he anxiety to me, and by the end of the conversation, she was much more at ease.
