Congratulations! I called today and they informed me they haven't sent all invites for interviews. When are you scheduled to interview?

I too have only applied to one program. The stress is delicious. My interview is on the 29th of Feb. I can't wait to get in there. What a great program! Good luck to everyone who has applied.

Wow, :w00t:that's great! do you live here in CA: Or will you have to travel for the interview? Do you work in critical care now?

Best of luck toward your interview. Knock them out, well don't take that seriously, but you know what I mean.

I'll be travelling down from Washinton state to Pasadena. I grew up in that area so it's a treat to get back down there. I currently work ICU up here but, I'm ready to make the change and excited about getting back into school.

I've heard that the interview process at Kaiser is more of a get to know you process rather than the "gauntlet" that other program interviews are known for. Anyone heard anything different? Any program specific tips?

I had a coworker who applied to the Kaiser school last year. He said that he had a panel of people asking him clinical questions, because they don't require the GRE or the CCRN.

I spoke to a contact who graduated in 2006 from the Kaiser Program and he said the interview consisted of a panel of about 12 people. The main focus was on what kind of person you are. He said, they spent a lot of time talking about basketball, because that was a hobbie of his and he followed it closely. The panel wants to know what kind of person you are, and how you'll handle different situations.... i.e maybe they'll throw out a ethical question about if an MD wants you to do something, but you don't feel comfortable, what would you do....and how would you handle the situation.

My friend's advice was be friendly, upbeat, and most of all, be honest. He didn't have any clinical questions at his interview, but honestly I would be prepared for anything.

Good luck! I hope this helps.
