Keiser university interview

Smith1283 · Oct 31, 2017

Hello,

I was accepted into the ADN program at Keiser and I am currently in my 2nd semester. It is hard and very time-consuming. If you have a lot going on in your life that requires your attention, this may need to hold. This program requires you to be enslaved for 16 months. Everyone is different though, and test taking is easy for them. However, the majority struggle and have had to quit their jobs just to have more time available for studying or homework.

Now, with that out of the way, if you are serious, mentally, financially & emotionally ready for this program and need some pointers, I can give a few. I'm sure you have already had the interview and should hopefully be starting the program in January.

Interview pointers:

Dress for success in business casual attire

Hair and makeup conservative

Think and memorize why you want to become a nurse and if it's because of the money, don't say that. We all need to make ends meet but nursing is more than that. Nursing needs heart! I say memorize because you may get so nervous you forget what to say. Trust me, I know from experience.

Everything that is in your portfolio should be emphasized in the interview, like all of your accomplishments.

Know what you want to do after nursing school. How do you want to give back to the community? Will you volunteer during nursing school? This is basically a job interview and you need to sell yourself. But remain honest in everything you say. Being a nurse, we kind of have a spirit of discernment and it all comes out in the wash, and when the program is over and all the drying is done, you don't want to appear to be a liar.

Smile!

Remain respectful and on topic, I don't care if they distract you. They are watching your reactions.

Last tidbit.... Relax! You made it this far & chances are, you're getting into the program.
