"I do not regret the direction I have taken in my career, and I'm looking forward to furthering my career as a Nurse Fellow. If I were forced to start over in a new direction, I would likely pursue a career in education. I have a passion for teaching and look forward to this aspect during my career--shaping the futures of nursing students. I could see myself teaching the arts or sciences at the middle school level where teenagers can feel the influences of these subjects on their future."

There is no right or wrong answer, but be sure to think about questions like this before your Nurse Fellowship interview. As you answer, talk openly and honestly with your interviewers about where your career path would have ideally taken you if becoming a nurse wasn't an option. If you want to have some fun with your answer, don't hesitate to talk about a hypothetical alternative career path that shows more of who you are as a person.
