Beth Israel 2012/2013 Applicants NYC

U.S.A. New York

Published

Hey guys,

I was wondering if anyone was applying to Beth Israel this fall or next Jan? Has anyone had an interview yet?

I have an interview with them next Thursday and was wondering if someone could give me an idea of how the interview process goes? This is my first choice school and really want to make sure I do everything I can to better my chances.

I was scheduled for the Open House back in Feb but had a last min. emergency so I missed it. I went in and personally handed in my application on Mar 1st. ( cutting it really close... i know). While there I spoke with Mrs. "*" and she was so helpful and nice. I also spoke with a male student who was playfully bugging her at the front desk and he was so cool. He told me about the teachers, the program, described his experience and says he loves it. He is part of the student government and was really helpful in answering some of my questions as well as Mrs. *.

So I would love to hear from other applicants. Has anyone applied to other schools besides Beth Israel? How do you feel about the PAX exam? (for those who have taken it or about to take it) Are you still waiting to hear from them or have you heard anything?

Also, if any current students could provide their take on the program, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks and good luck to everyone!

Thanks nylady07! That's good to hear! I will take your advice for sure. I applied to the Traditional track figuring it might be less competitive than the ATOP.

Great.. I chose the traditional track too... hopefully I get to meet you in the fall!!

nylady07, that would be fantastic! I read through all the posts in this thread and saw that you also also missed the open house at Beth Israel that you'd registered for, so can I assume then the tour you were given was on the day of your interview? I really am excited to see the facilities as I was in love with Cochran's facilities and the administration members I met (just not the commute).

Yes, the tour I received was during my interview. They have a mock hospital room with a instructor behind a one way mirror in another room. She controls the monitors and vitals you have for your sim dummy and speaks for him as well. I thought that was pretty cool especially coming from a cuny school where they have bare minimum.

Im so excited!!:lol2: i finally got an interview on Monday morning. Did anyone interview with *******? how was she? is she nice?

Did they call you or did they email you for the interview?

For me I called them (***** was who I spoke to) to inquire about my application and she told me she was missing the NLN exam results. That is the strongest part of my application so was relieved she asked if I could fax the results sheet to her. I did and got an email the next day about an interview. So DEFINATELY recommend calling. I think mine was messed up because I took the exam under my maiden name and everything else is hyphenated with the new name.

JBerkel I also am meeting ******* but not til Tues, so eager to hear if anyone has input to your inquiry.

k8aline I got an email from ****, and yes i agree with you 100% if you havent heard from the school, call or email maria about the staus of your application. Im excited and nervous about the interview but im sure it will be fine. I will let you know how it went.

congrats!!

Thank everyone. I called her and they didn't get my new score for the exam so she asked me to fax it. I asked her for my application status and she said it was under review. It has been already 3 weeks no call or email. Im so nervous. I pray i get a call for an interview. I wanna email her but i don't wanna get on there bad said either. What do you think or should i wait it out. Do you know anyone that got an interview who got a score of 119? I know it pretty horrible but i really hope i get an interview

Had my interview today. They were super nice. Shte made me feel very comfortable. She asked my greatest accomplishment,what were my greatest challenges, how would I describe what nursing is to someone that only had the image of nurse Jackie or ER. They will definitely ask questions related to your essay. Overall it was more her telling me about the program and what to expect.

Did they say how many people applied and how many they will be accepting ?
