Give a brief description of yourself including your personality but not too personal details, your strengths. Pay attention to your educational history and especially the course you did in Senior High School. Briefly mention hobbies that demonstrate intellectual and/or community engagement such as reading, music, sports, and volunteering. Based on the answer you give, many questions may arise from that, so be sure you know what you are saying. Interviewers may also ask how the course you studied relates to nursing. So, if you studied General Art, General Science, or Agricultural Science, how are you going to apply it in nursing?

The interview cannot be complete without questions relating to current events and happenings. Questions are asked about current health events and happenings such as in 2020 we experienced COVID-19 and meningitis outbreak. Other current events that may not be related to nursing or health may be asked. It is also important that one must know the political figures in their community. This includes The Municipal/District Chief Executive, the Member of Parliament, and the Regional Minister. You should also not forget to know the name of the Health Minister.

What would you do if a patient or family member threatened you? In nursing, the patient needs are always first, and you are the professional and as such you should possess the quality to deescalate the situation. Your answer should therefore portray these qualities.
