[Lisy108]

Hey! I passed my TEAS now im scheduled for an interview at the school that im dying to get into. Ive heard that depending on who interviews you it can be from 15 to an hour long. Does any one have any tips of interviews processes for a school. HELP PLEASE! im soooooo nervous!

I would try and figure out answers to questions ahead of time so you're prepared for the tougher ones. Questions like..

Why do you want to be a nurse?

What are your strengths/weaknesses?

How will you balance study time with your personal life?

Honestly though, I didn't have an interview so I'm somewhat speculating on the questions you might be asked, but I'm sure other people who have been interviewed will chime in.. Just try to relax and be yourself, you don't want to go in there sounding like a robot spitting out lines that you prepared earlier. And try to make a good first impression, smile, eye contact, etc.. Good Luck!

Having been through stressful interviews before (not for nursing school), I would suggest just being yourself, staying relaxed, and making sure that your passion for nursing shows through. I am sure the interviewer wants to know that you have what it takes to get through nursing school, and only you know that you do! You can totally do this; just be positive, friendly, and genuine.
