Abington Dixon SON Interview

Published

Does anyone have any information on what to expect for the interview? I have one next week and I am really nervous. Any information would be great!

Hello

To loveland I am too on the waiting list and after I read your post I was wondering who you spoke to at the school because I know someone that was put on a wait list year after year. Finally accepted after the third time because once the wait list is dissolved she had to roll her application over for the following year. I am just wondering if what your saying is new news because she is currently in the program right now. Maybe they changed the regulations? I am hopeful however just hate waiting. Thanks

Does anyone know what "scheduled weekends" mean - is that every weekend, every other?

I was told at the interview that clinical would be every weekend...the scheduled part probably has something to do with different classes require a different number of clinical hours, we might have to work various shifts, etc. From what I understand we also have to do a clinical lookup the day before (friday)...does anyone else have any other info?

Jill0107 I spoke with the director. I was told that if all of your classes were completed, and your Teas testing score met the requirments, then yes if still interested you will be rolled over for next year and guranteed a spot. All of your classed have to be completed and your GPA has to be good.

Summers off would be nice,LOL..is the program longer because of that though? I don't know where I'm going at this point...I'm accepted at Abington and CCP...on Jeffersons waiting list and won't know about spots til summer and La Salle now all of a sudden is saying I need to take the NLN... Which to my knowlege wasn't part of their app process (besides the fact that's it all late now and whatnot), but I heard they are probably using that now to weed ppl out...

Harcum's program is not longer because it is every weekend vs Abington's every other weekend....CCP and Abington awesome's program...It is a pain in the neck taking the teas and nln. I took them both.
