Looking for students who are applying to Brookhaven in Fall 2012 to start Spring 2013

Published

Hi there,

I searched for Brookhaven to make sure there wasn't a thread for this but all I found was people that were getting in this fall at Brookhaven. I will be applying this fall to Brookhaven and will hopefully start in the Spring 2013. I'd love to start connecting with other hopefuls so don't hesitate to respond!;)

woo hoo!!! Way to go!! That's great!!!! I set mine up for Friday at 10am. I'd rather wait 10 days than 15 to see if I got in (Nov 26th) :)

Good luck everyone!! I remember being in the same position last march/april!! Dont worry imterviews arent too bad!! Some questions you may hear are how do you handle stress? Why do you want to be a nurse?

For those of you wanting to go into any type of pediatric care be aware that Brookhaven is not doing clinicals in any of the Children's hospitals. You won't get any real hospital, hands on experience for children. Also only a small amount of students get a preceptorship in the last semester which makes your last semester like your first as you basically follow a nurse around and only do what she allows. Nursing jobs are extremely hard to come by as the field is flooded in the DFW area. Also most hospitals expect a BSN in the metropolitan areas. At least knowing a few of these things will make you less disappointed when you find out when you are in school.

I agree with you spope08, I thought the interview and writting sample were not too bad. But, I am glad to have it over with- now waiting until the 30th will be difficult. Goodluck to everyone I hope to see everyone soon in the Spring:)

Childers7, I had alot of the same questions:0 Just go to the nursing dept X1085 and Ms. Baker will come to get you at your interview time. First, you will do the writting sample in the skills lab then you will do the interview with four other candidates and each of you will be asked 2 questions and thats it. Some people wore suits and others business casual- I personally wore business casual- slacks and a layered blouse. Whatever you feel most comfortable in because you will be nervous and may sweat if you have on too much:? Honestly, it wasn't that bad and I am sure you will do great- Goodluck:)
