Well yeah same lol I just hope they’re thinking is like that too! I’ve read past threads about the interviews and it has said to know alpha 1 receptors down to the calcium release of the endoplasmic reticulum causing contraction of the muscle. And I’m just thinking ummm ok that’s way too much.

Hey guys I'm late to the party, but have an interview coming up this week! I'm curious to know what drugs you've heard we should know. I didn't know we'd needed to know mode of action and elimination, etc and it's kinda got me worried I don't know everything I need to!!

I believe we should only have to know about the drugs we listed in our application. At least those are the ones I’ve been focusing on personally. Anything on the application is fair game.

Okay perfect. That's fair. I'm trying not to psych myself out too much about the interview, but I'm so nervous! Good luck to all of you!

I have an interview this week too! Yeah I know about the meds on my app. Also, depending on your unit, just know the ones you use frequently. I’m studying pressors mainly

How are you enjoying the program thus far? How hard has the first few semesters been for you guys?

It’s definitely tough! But, if you put in the work you get the results. It’s a slow race guys. I know that everyone wants to get As in everything but just remember Bs get degrees. I have to constantly study and I get the grades I want but it takes sacrifice. I do get to go out and actually have a life...much like many of the students in the program. It’s just a different pace. I’m hoping to be at your intensive week to talk to you guys once you all get in!!! ?

I interviewed yesterday. It wasn’t bad at all. I felt very comfortable. I’m from a small town and work at a “smaller “ hospital. That’s what scares me about getting in. Anyway, good luck to you all!

I was an alternate that got called and was accepted. Interview was much more laid back than previous years. Know your unit specialty like the back of your hand and you will do fine. If you list medications in your app, then know those meds down to the molecular pathways. They interview you based on what you say so be mindful of that. And just be yourself. They’re super nice and know you’re nervous. Practice out loud, prepare and prepare some more. Because the interview is your ticket in. My stats weren’t great at all but I had strengths in other areas and studied my butt off For the interview.
