Concordia Irvine ABSN Fall 2018

[inkabruce]

Hey all, did anybody go to the info session today or is planning to apply to this cycle?

It seemed like a very quality program with plenty of resources, a quality simulation lab, and their NCLEX pass rate is awesome. I also really liked how intensive the clinical portion is; some other programs I looked at are barely half as many clinical hours.

Yep, I'm just gonna do my best and hope for the best!

I'm more than likely going to do slacks, a blouse, and a blazer. Maybe flats since it is SO long haha

I'm sure the essay is to assess maybe some of the our= writing skills? I would have thought for sure it would be enough with the statement of intent but haha

Huh i thought i replied to this but i guess it didn't post! I am coming from orange county, I actually work in the same business park as the CUI park place campus so I won't be worried about where to go on the interview day. I ended up taking a new one, so it was a selfie but i downloaded an app that is a timer so it is not like you are holding the phone if that makes sense. Whatever you submitted I am sure is good. Only a few more days can't wait!

I just found this thread! Nervous & excited for my interview Friday morning. I am also coming from San Diego.

When you reply to confirm that you are going to attend the interview, were we suppose to get a response confirming that we successfully RSVPed?

[nurse.lexi]

As long as your submitted your photo and response you are successfully RSVPed. They will not send out a confirmation unfortunately.

Hey @nurse.lexi!

Nice! There's the four of us for Friday 13th at 7:30A-@kzcroft, @lindsaygee, me and you!

I'll put out an offer to carpool if you're down. I believe I'm leaving SD at 5:30-5:45A, better safe than sorry! I'm coming from Rancho Penasquitos

[nurse.lexi]

That's so nice of you to offer! I'm actually staying in Irvine Thursday night. I hope to see you all there though. My name is Alexis!

Hey guys!

I am getting super nervous about my interview this Friday and I started to do my research and found this site. I feel excited but also so nervous because I have no idea what to expect. My interview is 1:30-6:30 pm. That is such a long time for an interview so I am wondering what we will be doing for that long? How are you all feeling?

[Danni_Elle]

My name is Jessica, but you can call me Jess for short! See you then!

Hi,

I don't think my other post went through. I want to reassure you that it is okay to feel nervous. I am a walking anxiety, and I am legit excited, scared, nervous--all of the above.

Have you been to the nursing information session? I highly doubt that it will be your typical interview questions, but do prepare a solid answer for "Why Nursing?" and "Why CUI?" From what I have gathered, you will be interviewing with three other applicants, four total. It's safe to assume that you will also be evaluated based on group interactions.

I suggest come in professional attire, although the letter did not specify. Lastly, even if you aren't expecting typical interview questions, prepare for it anyway--especially scenario based questions.

Ultimately, "Show Don't Tell."

I hope that helps!

THIS HELPS SO MUCH. Thank you for all the reassurance and positive comments. I appreciate this!

I'm glad I helped! I wish you the best, just stay positive!!
