Hospital Nurse Interview Question:

Tell us have you ever had any differences with nurses you have worked with?

I once worked with a nurse on a pediatrics ward and we simply didn't get on with each other. It was just a clash of personalities. After about 3 months it was becoming almost impossible for us to work together so finally I pulled her aside and asked her to have a quick coffee after work and find out what was wrong.

It turned out she was just to communicating differently with nurses in her unit in the past. After we talked about this for about 15 minutes we actually began laughing at what we both perceived to be slights on each other.

I'm a very easy going person but sometimes that doesn't always come across well. She thought I was being too casual at times and it upset her while I thought she was too stressed and uptight every day. We ended up working it out and we're very good friends now believe it or not.
