ICTC LPN Program

Published

I will be taking the teas test for the ICTC LPN Prog. in Sallisaw. Anyone else planning on enrolling at ICTC for the 2011 yr ?

025 any word yet!

Tippy, the interview wasn't as bad as I thought, it was a ltl nerve racking :eek: but after I got in there and sat down it went pretty well I thought?? I interviewed at Tahlequah so it may be diffrent in Sallisaw, but there was 3 ladies in the room. They each had a sheet that was numbered 1 through 5, and they took turns asking questions.

Why nursing, why ICTC?

What do you think about team work and being a team player?

What have you done to prepare if you are chosen to get in?

What would you do with a difficult patient who didn't want your care?

Some others I can't remember and the last one:confused:

We have had many many applicants, Why you over the others?

Tippy I hope this helps you. I practiced all last night on questions I thoughtthey would ask? I for what ever reason never expected the why ICTC, LOL

The lady told me that I would know either way!!!

Good luck tommorrow!!! I hope we all get in! :nurse::nurse::nurse:

:ancong!: on the :bby: You dont' have to tell them that you are pregnant. I wouldn't. Good Luck on the interview. Mine is tomorrow. :nurse:

Do they interview everyone who tested or do they only select certain ones ?? I can't imagine they would interview everyone who tested in such a short amount of time.

Thank you! That's what my husband said.

Good luck on your interview! You will do great.:nurse:

I couldn't imagine them interviewing everyone but I don't know. From everything that I have read it states that they only interview certain people.

The interview went really good. The questions were pretty much like you said. One of the questions they did ask was why LPN ? I told them I had been a CNA for 17 yrs and I want to go on to be an RN but I want to experience the role of the LPN. So that way I will know the role of the CNA in relation the LPN and then the RN and better understand the roles of all in the nursing field. I told them about how I have worked in various settings from nursing homes to hospital ICU's and now I am working in a Psych clinic. The experiences I have had in all three settings how I dealt with it ect. I was also asked why nursing ?? So I told them about my mom. When I was 10 yrs old she was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor and had brain surgery, she various other health issues and 5 yrs later the cancer had come back and she had died from multiple malignant brain tumors. And as I was growing up I had always wanted to do more for her and as I got older I realized that what I couldn't do for her I could do for others.

The nurse instructor also asked me why should I choose you and what would you bring to my class room ? So I told her I had determination and I was very assertive and that I could bring my experience and knowledge to the class room. She agreed and even told me that she thought I would be a great asset to the class room with my expereince as well as my knowledge about the nursing field.

So that sounded good. They said they would let me know in a couple weeks. So wish me luck and I hope we all get in.

Good luck 025. I'm sure you will do great.

When I was walking into the school for my interview there was a girl who was walking out and i recognized her from when I tested cause she tested the same day, so i figured she must have had an interview. she was wearing baggy sweat pants and a baggy hoodie lookin like she just rolled out of bed. i go check in and there is another girl sitting there waiting for her interview, she was dressed like a bus. exec goin to a take over. Then there was me. looking like a middle aged mom wearing office casuals; capris, blouse and sandals. The instructors were all wearing jeans and a blouse. I didnt know if i was under dressed or over dressed.

Wow Tippy that sounds like you had an awesome interview! It also sounds like you were dressed perfect and it is always better to be over dressed than under dressed. Now it's my turn and I'm really nervous :uhoh3:!!!!!

I'm so glad that both of your interviews went well and hopefully mine does too!
