i have an interview for rochester general hospital isabella g. hart school of practical nursing next friday. three months ago i took the entrance exam and figured that i would have to take it again next year and this year was a bust. but i got a call a few days ago and the administrative assistant told me that the director said that, although certain parts of the exam i scored "average," she wanted to schedule an interview with me. :w00t:
i was shocked because i thought that only ones with high marks on the exam would be considered. i am going to college now and have excellent grades. i think that helped me, along with other aspects of my application (reference letters from work, my essay). the session begins in august.
i know that the interviews vary from basic to more in-depth depending on the type of program (this is lpn program).
my question is, would you assume (in this case) that because i have an interview i'm pretty much in?
Sigh...I was waitlisted. Would you care to share your background, and what you got on the TEAS test. I am thinking about reapplying for next year and taking some classes in the meantime. Thanks and CONGRATS!!!
You should call the school and tell them that you are interested in the part-time program that is starting in January if you do not get into the full time program in August. They are looking for more students for that program because they are short. It is 18 months long--not too bad---Tues, Thurs. nights and Saturday 7am-3.
And there is a BOCES program starting in Jan. too. they are accepting applications now.
