⟩ Tell us what qualities do you need to be a good professional?
Approach this question in three parts. Firstly, think about the qualities you expect from a nurse, and the characteristics you would want from someone caring for you, your child or your family. Think about the additional qualities required by someone working with children and families who may have, for example, a premature baby, an acute or life threatening illness and how you would emotionally cope with stressful situations such as child abuse (safeguarding). Finally, think about core values, such as respect, a sense of equality, and how you can link these in with the job. Use examples from your own life/career to show how you possess these qualities.
