I was tempted, but I wouldn't know what a good vs bad score would be. The fact we have been able to interview I think is a positive sign. Based off my interview, I suppose they base it off of: Clinical experience, ICU years, volunteering, research, publishings, etc etc 

thx u so much. I just don't have a lot years of exp. therefore, im really worried abt it. thx u. and good luck everyone

Congrats on the interview! Plenty of people feel the same way after interviewing... myself included. I wouldn't worry too much about the actual clinical question. I don't think they really care if you get it right or wrong, but care more about you as an actual candidate. I fumbled a bit on my clinical question as well, but made sure to talk it out so they knew I understood the concepts even if I got it wrong. 

How did the rest of the interview go? Mine had more of a getting stats vs getting to know me feel. Regardless, one interview doesn't define you as a nurse/person... I'm sure these programs know that as well

I just wanted to say I 1000% did the exact same thing, I did amazing on the other questions and then as soon as I got the clinical question I verbally said the correct pathophysiology and ***ed up the second part that really mattered. Unfortunately I had just gotten out of the hospital the day before and my body was beat to heck. It is what it is jess, hopefully this won't affect our admissions decision. Best of luck try not to think too hard we should be hearing within the next day or so

exactly .02 seconds after I clicked out of that interview, the answer came to me. I was so tempted to email my interviewers with the answer but that seems a little crazy and off putting, so I didn't. It sounds like we did okay on the personal questions, so hopefully thats enough to pull us through. But good luck to you! If we both get accepted, I'll have to find you in school to meet LOL Good luck to you again!

The rest of the interview went smoothly, I think. But I feel like just the fact that I fumble on the clinical question, automatically puts me behind everyone else on the list of people who got interviews. And they only pick top 45 sooo.. *cries*
