Hello all,

I am a Med surg I student and I have an interview at a hospital for a NAP position (Nursing Apprenticeship Program) I was wondering if anyone can give me any pointers in what to expect during the interview process?

Thanks for any help

NAP? Most of us would like one. My best suggestion, be honest.

Aside from being honest, take a moment to think before answering questions. If there is a lull after your answer, just sit tight. They sometimes will do that to see if you are going to add anything. Often, if you fall for it, you wind up blabbering on, and better off just answering the question.

Be friendly, smile. Look at the people asking you questions. Be perky and enthusiastic. And, of course, you are a team player. Wear something nice, with little jewelry and no perfume. And don't be late.

They'll expect you to be nervous, just don't sit with your arms crossed in front of you or nervous habits, like twisting your hair or biting nails etc.

Have a few well thought out questions to show your interest. And think about the questions they will likely ask you so you won't be thrown by something you can't think of an answer for.

Good luck. Let us know how it turns out!

Which hospital are you interviewing with? I'm trying to get on at St. Rose, just waiting for the postion to get approved, then it's mine!! Yeah!

How was summer? I'm going into 2nd semester this fall (full time program). I'm getting really lazy though and hope to be able to pick myself up off the ground! Cant stand the thought of another summer off.

Are you doing mental health in the fall? We lost 27 people from full-time so they cancelled my lecture class for lack of enrollment. I have to take it at Cheyenne campus with Antonella (heard she is great) on Monday night at 6. Any chance you're in that class?
