I have an inteview scheduled with my top-choice nursing school. Can anyone help me prepare by telling me what questions they typically ask during these interviews?

[Fermin Hernandez]

Ok, I'll bite. I'm just guessing...but I've interviewed for several things in life and these types of questions tend to pop up for anything.


Why do you want to be a nurse?

What kind of time are you able to devote to nursing?

How are you going to fund your education?

Name a time when you had a difficult person/situation/crysis and how did you deal with it?

What quality's do you have that you think would benefit a nurse.

A coworker/student is having an issue with (insert some kind of no-no) how would you deal with it?

The last interview I had, they also asked me:

1) What do you think the role of a nurse is?

2) Strengths and weaknesses?

3) And then just the general, "So, tell me about yourself?" question.

Good luck!

My interview was extremely short.. like 5 mins. They asked 5 questions:

1. Why do you want to be a nurse?
2. Why do you want to go to this school?
3. What are you going to do to maintain success in nursing?
4. Describe a situation where you not heard?
5. If I had another student in this room, sitting next to you? Why would I pick you over him/her?
