Specializes in I'm a student.

Hi, all! I'm new to this site. Went back to school about a year ago to finally get my nursing degree. I've been working in the legal field for 20 years, but when I was in my early 20's, I was a CNA and an OB Scrub Tech.

Now that my kids are grown with kids of their own, I decided to get that RN. I've finished a lot of the "regular" (nonnursing) classes and am getting ready to formally apply. I attended a nursing information session today, where they talked about the "interview" and how heavily it weighed in the selection process. My grades are good, but I admit I'm a little nervous about this next step.

So, anyone care to share what kind of questions they were asked during THEIR nursing school interviews? I would appreciate! I'd also like to hear from others who made this career change later in life (I was 48) and how it turned out. Thanks!
