Hi:

I recently took the pre-entrance exam for the school of nursing at Mercy Hospital but I still have to go through an interview tomorrow and I'm so nervous, so I was wondering anyone had any idea about the kinds of questions asked during the interview to enter the school.Any help would be appreciated Thanks.

Hopefully everything goes well.

Did you keep a copy of your application to the nursing school? If you had to write an essay or answer personal questions you may be asked to elaborate about them. Some of the popular questions that they like to ask are why you want to be a nurse, what your study skills are like, how you handle conflict with other people, or what you would do if you were confronted by someone who wanted to start a conflict with you. Some may ask if you know what an RN or LPN does. You may be asked what your goals are and what you see yourself doing in 5 years. If you don't know an answer to a question don't make one up to look good. These interviewers have heard it all, know the answers they like to hear, and will know if you are lying or making things up to make yourself look good which will actually make you look even worse to them. It is better to be honest, open and show your eagerness to learn.
