Congrats on getting an interview! I had mine today and I was crazy nervous- but it was nowhere near as bad as I thought it would be.

To me, it was basic interview questions with a twist:

Biggest strength/weakness and why.

What does it take to be a good nurse?

Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

Do you plan to further your education?

You have a problem with a student/instructor/patient (etc)- how do you handle it?

Just be yourself and let your personality shine through. I have gotten the gist that the interview is to weed out the people who aren't ready, or really don't want to put in the effort to be a nurse. The better half of my interview was spent making sure I understood exactly what I would be getting myself into.

An interview tip, ask questions in return. Do a little homework on the school and if anything you find confuses you- ask about it. Admin will appreciate your interest!

Good luck- and don't worry you'll do just fine! After my interview I went to have a meeting with financial aide, and while I was sitting there waiting for some copies to be made, my admissions rep sent my my congratulations e-mail letting me know I was accepted :)
