Who they select to ultimately join may come down to which candidate can express their best motivations for success in their program. This question allows them to gauge each candidate's motivation.

Prior to your Nurse Fellowship interview, put some deep thought into what is motivating you to pursue this training. Where many candidates will simply talk about a career move, you'll ideally want to go a step further and passionately speak about your internal drive for that career move. If you can express why this is important to you, your patients, and the field in general, you just might win over your interviewers and land a coveted spot.

"At this point in my career, I'm honestly looking to give back more because I feel I've accomplished every great thing I can in direct patient care. While I still love bedside care of patients, I want to become an innovative leader in the care at home directives that our field is moving to and your Nurse Innovation Fellowship will help me get on the best path for this goal."
