Nursing school interview next week!!

Good luck!

I didn't have an interivew for my program, so I don't have any advice about what they'll ask you - but I have plenty of questions you could ask them! :chuckle

I believe, if I'm not mistaken, there's an interview sticky at the top of one of the nursing student forums....

Go to this link. It has all sorts of questions that will most likely be asked. I used it before my interview last month, and got accepted!

On my interview they asked very basic questions! Why you want to be a nurse... 3 words that describe you.. Why do you want to go to this program over others.. and thats basically it.. Goodluck!!

i am havin an interview next week too and I would love some tips too!!HELP!!!!I choose not to admit that I am nervous because I think i would be worse off...so I am saying that I am working on my confidence right now!!!

My interviewers wanted to know about specific incidents in my life in which I displayed certain qualities. I was asked about 10 different such questions on top of the typical 'why nursing' and 'biggest weakness' type questions. I can't remember them all but they were along the lines of:

1. Tell us about an experience where you had to multi-task.

2. Tell us about an experience where you were under a lot of pressure and had to solve a problem.

3. Tell us about an experience where you were in conflict with a peer and how you addressed it.

4. Tell us about an experience in which you disagreed with an authority figure and how you handled it.

ETC...

Also, I agree with the previous posters...definitely ask questions when given the opportunity. And not necessarily the typical 'gee whiz' questions either. I mean, those are fine, but do your homework about the school and ask a question that'll knock their socks off and help them to remember you when it comes time to make selections. I got an immediate positive reaction when I did this which made me feel really good about the whole interview

Above anything, make eye contact, be interested and engaged, relax and don't be afraid to SMILE

I think the interview questions really depend upon what type of program you are entering...AA, BSN, or MSN.

I have an interview for the MSN program at my California school TOMORROW and I am really nervous!!!!!

Hey Shopgurl,

My interviews were for MSN programs too! Anyhow good luck and if you want to check out some of the questions that my MSN programs asked me then here is the link.
