⟩ Tell me where do you see yourself in 5 years as Practical Nurse?
This is a question no one can answer for you. This is a question that must be thought about and answered honestly. Interviewers can often spot dishonesty and answers that are confabulated just to sound good. Think about where you see yourself in 5 years… really think about it if you haven’t already. Many LPNs interviewing for nursing jobs are already enrolled in or plan to attend RN school. This is a good thing to let the interviewer know. Let them know your intentions to become a Registered Nurse and why you want to further your education. If you have a certain nursing specialty in mind, convey this, especially if it is relevant to the facility you are interviewing for. When interviewing potential hires, employers don’t need or want to hear that you want to work for them forever; they simply need to know that they will be rewarded for “investing” in you as an employee. Try to tie the job you are applying for with your future goals. Focus on the experiences and knowledge you want to gain from working at a certain facility. Also focus on the impacts and influences you wish to have on patients and others working at a certain facility.
