Can you tell me about a time someone on your team or a patient inspired you?  

There was this one time my co-worker Nikki had a rough week; this is one of her first full-time jobs and seeing her handle the pressure especially when this is something she was not used to showed me she had great strength and endurance, and I was very proud of her.

Don’t beat yourself up.
