UBC Nursing Interview....Help!!!


Hello,

I've just got a quick question for you all today. On thursday I was given an interview for the accelerated BSN program at UBC. The interview is set for this monday, and at present I'm frantically trying to prepare for the interview. I was wondering if you could give me some feedback as to the interview itself....ie questions, number of interviewers...etc.

Thank you so much for your help.

Darrell

Wow.. I actually applied this year and I still haven't heard from them yet?
They said they are still accepting transcripts up until June 15th.. are there different batches of interviewees?

one more thing.. after you have the interview, please let us know how it goes! and what questions they ask!!

all I know about the interview process is.. they'll ask you one question for sure.. "Why do you want to be a nurse?" so prepare for that one.. and if it's anything like their pharmacy interview the rest of the questions will be pretty generic.. describe a time when you worked well in a team etc.

after the interview there is supposed to be an essay portion as well... you'll be asked to write an essay immediately after the interview that is unrelated to nursing i believe.. (don't quote me on this) better to prepare for both nursing related and unrelated topics!

good luck! hopefully I'll get my invite soon too..

I also applied this year but haven't heard from them about an interview. The last email I received was from Ruxandra telling me that the application process would close on June 15. They have started the interviews much earlier than I thought they would.

Oh man.. bad news.. they sent out all the invites already by phone ..
Interviews really ARE this week.. monday/tuesday for sure.. why couldn't they contact us by email.. it'd be so much easier...

Oh well... We tried... It's depressing for sure, but there are other colleges and universities that will take us. Where there is a will, there is a way.
