I had one there just before christmas. There were 5 people in the interview. You'll get there and get a short tour of the school/break the ice/get to know you walk with one or two of the current students. It's very small but seems like it would be very personalized. The interview for me contained 5 people: an instructor, the assistant director, the two students, and the secretary. Questions in the interview pertained mainly to your person and achievements. Strengths/weaknesses, grades, certifications, how you deal with stress, experience you get at work, etc... No clinical questions in the interview, but there is a short 25 question test at the end of the interview. I remember questions off of that test but wont reveal them; it wouldn't be fair to all the applicants. Study for it as you would for your CCRN if you feel you need to, but it's not difficult. Overall I thought the interview was an easy process and everyone there did a great job. Don't sweat it. Just get some sleep and go with a good attitude. Good luck.
