You all should check your emails! I got an invitation to interview with admissions not too long ago and signed up!
Thank you! I just received the email too and signed up for an interview!
Also, I'm not sure if everyone here went to the Mock Interview but they said that it's a group interview of about 3-5 people and it's approximately 30-35 minutes but allot 1 hr for it just in case. ?

Hi everyone! I just found this forum and was wondering if anyone has had experience with group interviews? If so, do you have any advice on what to expect with them? Thanks in advance!

I've had experiences with group interviews back in college for organizations. I can only remember interviewing with a group for job once but it was extremely informal. When I attended the mock interview we were told that it's okay to have similar answers to other people but make sure to make it more personal towards you and always relate it back to nursing. Be mindful of time since there might be 3 to 5 people in the interview and there's only 30 minutes for the interviewers to get to know all of us. Be straight and concise with your answer. I'm at work right now and I do not have all of my notes with me from the mock interview. But I will post another response once I'm home ?
