I do live in Nassau. I transferred in some of the pre/coreqs from my BS and finished up the last one at NCC in SP10.

Congrats on getting in!!

Don't stress the interview too much! THis is exactly what happens:

FIrst you sit in a classroom and they lecture you for about 45 minutes welcoming you to the school and all that stuff. YOu will get a packet that has a list of all the things you need: uniforms, supplies, books etc. Then you will take a basic vocabulary test. DONT PANIC! LOL It is simple words like temperature, allign, and very easy basic words. YOu have to define them then write them in a sentence. It is really not a big deal I think they just want to make sure you all speak and understand english lol no joke.

On the back of the vocabulary test they will ask you to write a paragraph on why you want to be a nurse.

From there you will leave that room and go into another room where you will get a brief interview (If you even want to call it that) The woman will ask you if you have a car (to get to school and to and from clinicals) and she will ask you if you are in the US legally. Then she will read your paragraph on why you want to be a nurse then ask you a question or two about it maybe.

After that you go into another room and you take a quick quiz (If you want to call it that) They ask you two critical thinking question...more like a common sense question. Like..."If you were in this type of scenerio how would you react", or "If a sitation like this occured what would be a good way to resolve it". After that you go into the last room and they look over what classes you have and they advise you on what classes you need to take. At that point they give you a piece on paper with a registration number on it ...they also tell you what hospital you are being assigned to. You need to take that piece of paper to the Registar's office...and that's it - you're in!

Kuklara thanks SO SO much for this info-so useful and gives a boost of confidence. You should be a mentor (if not already!)

Woo-hoo!!! I just got my letter today and I am tentatively accepted (pending the interview). My interview is scheduled for 12/17/10 at 9:00 a.m. Oh, and thanks kuklara for the interview information.
