BSN interview and have questions

Hi all

I have my BSN program interview coming up and I think I have a pretty good idea about what I will be asked but does anyone know of a resource to give me an idea about how to answer some of the interview questions? I know that may sound dorky....sorry about that.....but I'm just feeling anxious about the whole thing

Thanks!!
Heather

Re: BSN interview and have questions

I just had two interviews and had two offers. I have my last one on Monday. My first one was fairly easy. They mainly wanted to know what my goals were and where I saw myself in nursing. I took a tour of the unit and they wanted to know if I had any questions.

However, in the second interview I was asked, "what I feel a good nursing orientation would be," what should be included and what do I expect during an orientation," and they also wanted to ensure that I has uninterrupted time for 16 weeks for the orientation. I'm sure that timeframe varies from hospital to hospital though.

Good luck!

I think the original poster is speaking of a nursing program interview however, not a job interview. Still helpful information though, but just to clarify. Also, to the OP, you can search for previous nursing school interview threads (there are many) by using the search feature near the upper right side of the page.

Re: BSN interview and have questions

Hello Futurenurse

no...I did not have to do an interview with my Bachelor's from TWC...it is in Human Services which is similar to a degree in Social Work.

I am nervous too!! TWC is a really nice school and I keep wondering how many people have applied vs how many applicants they will accept...they have a very good BSN program....

Have you finished all of your pre req's? I still have to take A&P II but I'm registered for it this summer

Re: BSN interview and have questions

Well, I am taking 18 hours this semester, and 10 in the summer- and then I will be done! I kind of decided last minute to apply and now I am having to play catch-up. I do have all my sciences complete except Nutrition; I am taking it now! I was thinking about asking them how many people apply, and how many they accept. I love it there, I have applied to 5 different programs, but TWC is my 1st choice!!
