Registered nurses are known to have a high amount of stress and burnout due to the nature of the work. You need to be aware that the demands and pressure of Nurse Fellowship training can lead to fatigue and little sleep. Your interviews want to hear about your plan to handle the high amounts of stress during your time with them.

"When I have been under pressure on the job, I focus on the task at hand and make sure I don't get distracted. Over the last two years, I've worked in a very busy inpatient hospital unit and we've been at maximum capacity and diverting patients over 90% of the days. I know that the next year's training in Nurse Fellowship will require the same focus and dedication. I plan to utilize my free time wisely by doing what is necessary to recharge my mind and rest my body. Some ways I like to do this are playing golf, hiking with my dog, and reading."

Explain to your interviewers that you have the tools to keep your mind, body, and spirit in the best shape possible to learn and grow every day during Nurse Fellowship training. Talk about your ability to maintain perspective, use your downtime to recharge, and come to each shift prepared for the challenges that you'll face. If possible, talk about how you have successfully navigated the high-pressure situations during your career to this point and how that experience will help you benefit while in fellowship training.
