Hi all - I've been reviewing the boards here for a while and thank you all for your detailed responses and information left. This board is awesome and has really helped me calm my nerves with respect to the admissions process at Beth Israel in NYC.
My apologies if a thread of this nature already exists - (i couldn't find one) -- Just wondering if any 2012 applicants are out there?? I am applying to the evening session beginning in January 2012.
I've submitted my completed package and scored an 89th percentile AD on the NLN PAX. I took the computerized version and was able to get my scores back immediately. The anticipation would have killed me otherwise.
Anyway, I am eagerly awaiting a call or email from PBISON regarding the next step in the admission process which is the in-person interview. Fingers, Toes, and eyes are crossed!
Is anyone else out there applying for admission to the 2011/2012 entering class? Anyone further ahead in the process, perhaps you've had your interview already? I'm wondering how long to wait from the time I submitted my scores to the time of following up w/ the admissions board... I'm thinking 2 weeks is fair.?
Any comments welcome. Thanks in advance - and good luck!
my interview is tomorrow. so scared any last minute advice?!
read your essay. Make sure to have a clear answer as to why you want to be a nurse. I'm sure you know your stuff. go over the questions i posted earlier, and relax. It's an easy going chat about your life, not really like an interview.
I am going in today for my interview after applying for two years in a row! I received a denial letter two months ago but I sent my updated GPA from my school and got an interview!! I am so excited and nervous! I have read all of your posts and everything has been very informative. I am trying to stay calm, but I am so excited and nervous!!! I want this more than anything I have ever wanted before. Beth Israel is my dream school. Cross your fingers and toes for me and I hope to see you all soon!!! :heartbeat
I applaud your persistence. It is a clear indication of your commitment to becoming a nurse. I wish you all the best. Be prepared to answer the routine questions from the interviewer that have been repeatedly mentioned on this thread. Relax, your almost home.
i started pbison last year, once the interview is over, it usally takes a few weeks for the committee to meet and for you to hear back from them.
i really haven't heard of ppl being interviewed and then rejected.
they're one-on-one... basically know the in's and out's of your essay, the usual questions.. finanacial aid packages go out as soon as you receive your acceptance, theyre actually in the same package.
