Kennesaw State BSN Summer 09

U.S.A. Georgia

Published

Hey! I was just wondering if anyone has gone through the interview process at Kennesaw. I have one coming up and was wondering what questions they ask. Also, how is the interview structured? I would appreciate any advice!

Thanks!

I interviewed for Spring 09 admission and am now on the standby list. The interview is 20 minutes long with either 2 or 3 people. They ask about 5-6 questions...typical interview questions. The best advice I can give is to be upbeat and not nervous...I know that is easier said than done!!

Are you interviewing for the Summer 09 program? If so, when did you get your letter for that? I'm curious b/c I had also applied for Summer Accelerated program and I have not gotten any letter yet at all..to invite to interview or to decline!

Thanks for the advice! I am applying to the accelerated program for the Summer 09 too. I just got an email early this week inviting me to an interview. They said the letters are on the way, so I am sure you should see one soon. They did say that I was invited to interview for the traditional program, because they are not having an accelerated program for the Summer 09 session. I have no idea why, but they just said that there will be no accelerated students admitted for Summer 09.

Do you remember any of the questions that they asked you in the interview? Im kinda nervous about it, but I will try not to be! Good luck to you!

Wow, that's crazy to not have an accelerated program in Summer. I wonder why? All the accelerated students starting in Spring have to go to Jasper, none are going to the KSU campus. I wonder if they plan on doing away with the accelerated program on the KSU campus and just having it at the other locations...?

As far as the interview, the only one I can remember was something like, tell us about a time you had a difficult patient/customer and how did you resolve it. Most of the questions are like that...have lots of possible scenarios ready to apply to each question ready in advance so you don't have to think about it. When I interviewed, on several of the questions, he told me to take my time to think about my answer if I couldn't think of anything..but luckily, I had answers ready for all the questions. It is certainly nerve racking...I was so nervous and my mouth was so dry I could hardly speak at first. Just as I got my confidence and started to relax, it was over. It is very quick.

Hope that helps. I'm a little worried about my summer application since I didn't get an email about the interview. Maybe since I already interviewed for Spring, they don't need me to interview again. I know Fran told me once that you don't have to interview over again unless you want to. Good luck to ya!

Hi, I also recieved the email about interviewing for the summer 2009 program. I was hoping to do the accelerated program, but unfortuantely it will not be offered. I guess any program is good enough for me. I am really wondering what questions will be asked so I can be prepared. If anyone could give some suggestions, that would be great! Thanks, and good luck to anyone interviewing.

Hey guys, good luck with Spring 2009. They asked me the same question TJ wrote about regarding difficulty with a patient/customer. Also they asked:

1. Why have you chosen nursing, what lead to here?

2. What experience do you have in the medical field, if any?

3. Name an ethical situation you have been in and how you handled it.

4. Name a situation that influenced a change in your personal morals.

That's all I can think of for now, but I think those were most of the questions, if not all. Good luck! :)

Bambam I too was invited to interview for the summer 09 program, am just wondering if anyone has received a letter of acceptance, am a nervous wreck since the interview they told me early Dec, I dint do too well in the TEAS test, i was actually surprised they invited me to interview and plus i have one B in the required classes. I see posts of people that made 90s in the test waoh! i was far from that

Hey! I havent heard anything yet either. It is driving me crazy! I heard you normally hear 3 weeks after your interview and then I heard just some time in December. But, I called in asking a few days ago and they told me that the letters would be sent out before the end of January. I have a feeling they just got annoyed with people asking. But let me know as soon as you find out! Good luck!!

CAmeadors, thanx for your response, i will keep you informed if i hear anything, i wish more summer 2009 applicants would join the forum, i was impressed by the spring 2009 applicants. It kinda takes away the edge, good luck to you to

Yeah its true decision for summer intake will be made 2nd week of January

hey i too interviewed for summer 09, let me know if anyone gets an acceptance letter.....i dont think we'll get it until mid jan though....

Has anyone gotten an acceptance letter yet for the Summer? I can't believe it is taking so long! I hope we hear by the end of January, because if we don't I guess we will not be able to reapply for the Fall. (Fall deadline is Jan 31). Well let me know if anyone hears!

Thanks,

Beth
