Admission interview

[noele1213]

Hey girls...and guys..LOL...does anyone out there have any experience or insight that they might be willing to share about Nursing school pre-admission interviews? Mine is set for early December and I'm just curious as to what they ask during the interview. I feel like I'm getting close now, and the nerves are setting in. thanks in advance for taking the time to guide me here.

Well, I dont have much experience but I did go on one interview.. Basically they wanted to know why I wanted to be a nurse, what drove me, what were my goals and how the school would help to aquire those goals. They were pretty cool i was alittle nervous but they were very friendly. Make sure you practice what your gonna say so you dont come out all babbling. Make sure you relax and dress nice...1st impressions are always key...Anyway hope this helps good luck with the interview. Dont be nervous. I'm sure you'll do fine...good luck....:)

Be yourself and be confident. They asked me how i studied, why I wanted to be a nurse, etc. There is a thread on the general nursing student forum that is about interview questions, it is directed towards getting a job but a lot of the questions apply to school interviews. I went over those before I went. Ask them a lot of questions right up until they say the interview is over, keep on talking, make them know that you are REALLY REALLY REALLY interested by asking tons of questions, think about what you want to ask, I asked them everything from PDAs to class comaradie to study hours, etc.
