While the primary focus of a Registered Nurse is on patient care, administrative duties are often a part of the job. This is especially important if you are pursuing additional Nurse Fellowship training that puts you on a leadership path. In proposing a question like this, your interviewing team wants to ensure that you have the motivation to help the nursing field and patient care by participating in project work and representing the nursing team in administrative projects.

"Two years ago, when the company I was working for was undergoing their EHR upgrade, my manager put me in charge of ensuring that all clinicians, nurses, and staff on my unit were trained on the upgraded product. Since there were three separate required training classes--each offered at multiple times and dates--it was difficult to keep up with who had attended which session. I created a tracking spreadsheet in Excel with validations and dropdown boxes so I could easily visualize who had completed each training and who had not. I posted this spreadsheet on my unit's share drive so each employee could update it accordingly. Weekly, I would verify the information with the training office's records."

To successfully answer this question, you should describe any administrative tasks or projects that you have worked on in the past. A stronger answer to this question would include an example of when you led or spearheaded an administrative project during your time working as a registered nurse. Also, make sure you understand the duties of the Nurse Fellowship you are interviewing for and discuss how the administrative side is important to your future work in that field of nursing.
