For those who have applied for the Fall 2007 semester - has anybody gotten a date for an interview yet?

Thanks

Now you have to think of what kinds of questions they will ask you.

Sometimes, there are 2 to 3 persons interviewing you...can you handle it.

Most of the time they will ask you question such as...

Why do you want to become a nurse.

Or Why do you come to the nursing field.

Tracy...do not tell them anything related $$$$...answer such as "It is a good paying job." This type of answer will ensure you to be another KIA, killed in action.

The answer is always focus on the "patients." They might be interviewing 120 people for a 50 seats.

Anyhow, I am very happy that you get a chance to be interviewed....but you are not in yet. So...after the interview, you still have to keep your finger crossed.

Good luck!!!!

There is another question which you might have to think about it.

There are so many nursing programs out there, why are you applying to our nursing program.

The answer is going to be focus on the reputation of the school, the NCLEX-RN passing rate, or may be a recommendation of a friend.

But don't say I have been looking around, so I just come here to try another possibility.

There is another frequent asked question.

Describing yourself?

Or how other people see you.

During the interview, no jean, no tight T-shirt or anything that is considered to be inappropriate.

Congrats everyone! At PBISON it does seem that if you get an interview you are basically in. And they are so nice at the interview! :D

So by my count we have Shmitty3, Mystiqx, NursetobeTracy, Paragon, Male Nurse NYC, and myself starting next fall. Anyone else?

I'm so excited, I think I am going for ATOP (not sure when that is decided exactly). What's everyone else planning on? Anyone else still need to do their BLS?

Hi Everyone,

Congratulations to all:balloons: . My questions are in regards to the admission process. How difficult is it to get into the program at BI? What are the requirements?

When does the admission process commence?

I am in the process of weeding out the school that I am interested in for next year. Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

Hey Triple A

Beth israel has a very informative website, and I would also suggest that when the new application cycle begins probably october or so, to attend an open house. Another super important thing is the NLN, they put weight into that score. They are not like the CUNY community colleges where it is based strictly on GPA, they take every aspect of your application into consideration. An interview is required, Apply as early as possible.

Hope this helps.

Here is their website

I agree with Mystiqx, but I would add that you can apply before you actually take the NLN. Make sure you give yourself ample time to study, it is high school math/english/chem/bio/physics, but if it's been a while since high school you may want to brush up. It really seems that if your grades are okay a lot rests on your NLN. I only have a 3.0 from my previous degree, but I got 158/99% on the nln and they called right away. I am absolutely NOT smarter than 99% of people who took the test, I just studied a lot and used all of the tricks the guides offer.

good luck, this board is a good place for info about schools, we have all done our homework it seems :)
