Published

I have an inteview scheduled with my top-choice nursing school. Can anyone help me prepare by telling me what questions they typically ask during these interviews?

Ok, I'll bite. I'm just guessing...but I've interviewed for several things in life and these types of questions tend to pop up for anything.

Why do you want to be a nurse?

What kind of time are you able to devote to nursing?

How are you going to fund your education?

Name a time when you had a difficult person/situation/crysis and how did you deal with it?

What quality's do you have that you think would benefit a nurse.

A coworker/student is having an issue with (insert some kind of no-no) how would you deal with it?

The last interview I had, they also asked me:

1) What do you think the role of a nurse is?

2) Strengths and weaknesses?

3) And then just the general, "So, tell me about yourself?" question.

Good luck!

My interview was extremely short.. like 5 mins. They asked 5 questions:

1. Why do you want to be a nurse?

2. Why do you want to go to this school?

3. What are you going to do to maintain success in nursing?

4. Describe a situation where you not heard?

5. If I had another student in this room, sitting next to you? Why would I pick you over him/her?
