What do you feel is your greatest nursing weakness, and how would you correct it during your time in our Nurse Fellowship program?

This is your chance to promote yourself despite your flaws. Your answer should point out a salvageable weakness; you should admit that you're imperfect but have the gumption to work on your weakness because you are committed to being the best nurse you can be. Explain that--if you didn't perform at your best--you'd feel as if you were failing your program and you would find that unacceptable.

"I feel that my greatest weakness is my desire to be social with every person I interact with. While this has never been a problem during my nursing career to this point, I realize that I need to have boundaries with my patients and colleagues to be productive. While I know this is a positive trait when building rapport with my patients, I will strive to never cross any boundaries with my patients. As a Nurse Fellow with your program, I will hold these same boundaries and always be mindful of them."
