Brookhaven Nursing Program 2012 Class

Mia, you are so brave!!! I hope I pretty much pick basic questions too!! It's stressful enough as it is and one would think that they'd want to get to know a little bit about the candidates that the have to choose from rather than a 'what would you do' scenario. Oh well, we'll soon find out!!

I know right. We may just be over-reacting, it may turn out easier than we are anticipating. Despite my nervousness, I intend on looking very confident and answering my questions honestly. : )

What types of critical thinking questions are they going to ask? will they be medical related scenarios? Ms B emailed and said there would be 2 questions a piece, but I was under the impression that they were pretty standardized interview questions?? Let me know if ya'll find anything more out or if you have any info to pass along...PM me. Good night, Ladies!!!!

I don't know if there will be any critical thinking questions, I've just seen some in threads on here that I would not be prepared to answer. I started a thread to ask if anyone had experience with CC interviews specifically (because some of the scary examples were for MSN programs, etc) and was told that they were pretty basic questions. Good luck to everyone! :)

As the big day arrives I'm not sure what to wear anymore. I'm debating in between a nice pair of slacks and a button up blouse, or a nice black suit and button up blouse. What do you guys think?

sugarmagnoliaRN · Oct 31, 2011

I am super unprepared, I don't have a suit or anything. I think I'm going to wear slacks, a sweater, and a blazer. I think slacks and a button up blouse would be good!

Hey Girls!!! I didn't want to think about the interview anymore, so I got some much needed pampering...Got my hair highlighted, etc., etc. If I start stressing, I'm just going to spend the rest of my time until the interview shopping!!! It calms my nerves. Escapebigd...wear what you feel most comfortable in that still looks professional; either outfit you described will be fine! Sugarmagnolia, slacks and a blouse or blazer will be just fine-it's professional attire...take it from me, I know...I was a flight attendant for 15 years and we wore slacks with a blouse and a blazer some days! Mia, you're going to do just fine. As for myself, I am not really concerned about my attire as much as I am about responding to the questions...I"m worried about sticking my foot in my mouth or freezing and not being able to answer at all! Do ya'll feel that way? UGH!!!!! :banghead:

KaseyP · Oct 31, 2011

Mom24boys, did you find out what you are wearing? Good luck to you...I'm sure that you will do just fine! Congrats on your 34 points; that's a great score!!!
