Interview for ABSN program

Published

I am a pre-nursing school student. In order to be admitted into the program you must go through an interview. I'm just wondering what kinds of questions they may ask, so I can prepare. I have some time until the interview, but no sense in waiting until the last minute to prepare.

Has anyone had an interview regarding admission into a nursing program?

Would love to hear about your experience.

Specializes in ER/ICU.

Most important thing, I believe, is how to make yourself stand out from the rest.

The questions I was asked (both ABSN programs) were very generic.

Why nursing? Why this program? Strength and weakness? etc.

I tried to relate my personal experiences (volunteering, cultural background, previous degrees) to these questions. Also emphasize them, too.

It is nerve-wracking, but be calm and confident. =)

I got accepted to my first choice ( another school will let me know by end of October).

Good luck! =)

Thank you. I will definitely prepare answers to those questions! :up:
