I don't have a solid GRE since i messed up pretty bad on the english part (english is not my 1st language) but did great on the math portion. my TOEFL scores did some justice though 108/120. i have a 6 month PACU and a solid 2 year MICU/CCU experience, and I also was a volunteer ER nurse for a month before everything else. most of all i've earned my CCRN-CMC titles under my belt in just my 2 years of critical care. I applied to VCU and they called me for a panel interview next month, Dec 6, 2007. I'm much humbled but very very anxious, i don't know what to expect. given my credentials do you have any idea what kind of questions they would ask me? are they gonna ask me questions on hemodynamics? vent functions? i would gladly appreciate any advice you could give me... thank you in advance.
hey dude, you'll do fine.........I wouldn't worry too much. VERY few pepople have the CMC sub-certification, thats something that really makes the panel sit up and notice. Don't stress it; you'll get in. Just be relaxed during the interview...Don't drink any heavy caffeine before the interview ;-)
Also browse/do a search of the forums here, get a list of possible questions that your school will ask. Some are hard core and clinical, other schools are laid back and just ask personal/nonclinical questions.
Lastly, come up with an amazing question that you can ask them when they ask you if you have any questions for them.
Would you like to comment?
