Question 1 of 35

Tell us how you would handle a situation during Nurse Fellowship training in which you are pressed for time and it would be easier for you to provide care to your patients if you did not follow established procedures and protocols.

Procedures and protocols established for nursing professionals are in place to protect the patient, the nurse, and the facility, and they are not meant to be violated out of convenience. Violating such a procedure or protocol puts many individuals at risk, and nurses should always follow these guidelines to the best of their ability. The interviewers ask this question to determine if you understand the importance of established protocols and procedures and to hear that you will always follow them as you train in their Nurse Fellowship program, even in times when you are busy.
