Hi everyone! I just submitted my application to LACCONAH for the Spring 2024 cohort and thought I'd start a forum for us all here. If you have any questions or would like to share your stats, feel free to leave a comment.

Does anyone know what to expect or have any tips for the interview? Good luck everyone! 

Best of luck to you as well! From what I've read on other threads, there's a short essay, some sort of team exercise, and simple questions like "why do you want to be a nurse?" and "why do you want to attend CONAH?" Other than that, I have no idea what to expect ?

I haven't been able to find a definite answer for either question. I think I remember reading somewhere that they interview about 80 students, depending on the cutoff score and applicant pool. Their website says that the number of students accepted varies based on available space. According to RN.ca.gov, they can accept up to 120 students a year, so that should include Fall, Spring, and Summer cohorts. Someone in another thread for Fall 2022 said they accept 50 students and waitlist 20.

Hi everyone! I found this from a previous post on here, so wanted to provide you all with the information:

"Interviews are conducted in groups. You'll be called into the administration building to watch a video and write a quick, timed essay response (2 paragraphs). Then you'll be further divided into pairs to conduct the verbal and hands on portion of the interview. You will be interviewed by your future nursing instructors so please dress to impress and come prepared with thoughtful, brief responses to questions like: Why CONAH? Why you want to become a RN? Etc.

The hands on activity usually tests your ability to not only follow instructions, but also your ability to effectively communicate said instructions so that your interview partner can complete the task too. What does this mean? You'll take turns giving instructions to one another on how to complete a certain (very straightforward) task. I can't give specifics on the hands on task because they change it every application cycle. Plus, they monitor forums like this to make sure everyone has a fair chance during the selection process."

Good luck to everyone interviewing this week! We got this!
