yes, some of these are the typical questions we often asked applicants for jobs. if you want to be a nurse you need to be able to answer them honestly. and not just for nursing school. you will be asked some of them for nursing jobs. some of these behaviors are necessary to being a nurse. you either learn these behaviors and skills or you won't survive as a nurse. nurses are problem solvers as well as being pill pushers and pillow fluffers. that's why you are being asked about things like "how you do use information learned in nursing school to take care of patients such as assessment, planning, interventions and evaluation of care delivered (nursing process), time management skills, and learning skill, etc?" and "how do you collaborate and communicate with other health professionals?" they have to do with problem solving.
