This came from the Fall 2014 forum...

"This is how it went 2 years ago when I went through the interview process. Things might have changed since then though so don't fully rely on my experience.

There were a panel of 4-5 nursing instructors. I interviewed alongside 4 other prospective students. Each of us were asked 2 questions and while we were answering we were scored by each instructor on a scale of 1-5 (5 being the best). We did not get to see these scores. After the interview our interview scores were averaged and that average (1-5) was added to our overall score. We did not do a writing sample.

Questions we were asked were behavioral questions such as:

-Why nursing?

-Explain a time when you were overwhelmed, what did you do and what would you do differently now?

-Name and describe 3 qualities you think a nurse must have

-Explain a time when you had to work with a person that you didn't get along with. How did you deal with this person? What would you do differently now?

-How do you manage stress in your life?

-etc.

Some tips:

-After being asked a question, it is OK to take a moment to think about the answer. Before you answer take a deep breath and think about what you want to say.

-The panel of instructors are super nice and you will grow to love them during nursing school!

-It is totally OK to ask for them to repeat the question! I did several times ;)

-Dress in business attire. NO high heels (a slight heel is fine) or cleavage bearing tops! If you don't have a business suit that is fine, just wear some nice slacks and a blouse.

I hope you all do wonderfully! :) I am keeping my fingers crossed for all of you!"

Haven't found specifics, but found this on the writing sample...

"Yes the writing is new, I was bummed to see that because I was already nervous about the interview! I went to talk to admissions about it because I really didn't know what a writing sample meant, they told me is was mostly just to see that you could write, spell, speak english, the lady I talked to didn't seem to think it would be too much of a problem."

That's what I was told also when I went up and spoke to a nursing advisor.
