I am making this thread for anyone who is applying for NU's cohort 81. The application deadline for this cohort is on November 8, 2024. This is my second time applying for the program after getting denied from the last cohort due to my TEAS score. My stats are 3.73 GPA and 94 on the TEAS which I retook the other day. I also have 3 years of healthcare experience working mainly in behavioral health.
Hi everyone! Just got back from my 11AM interview with NU. The person who interviewed me is the current dean of the nursing program. Super nice lady! She talked in detail about the program before asking me 3 questions. I was asked why I want to be a nurse, why national university, and how would I handle the intensity of the program (whether my job will allow flexibility to accommodate the random changes to the school schedule). We talked for almost half an hour mostly about nursing. I then asked her 3 questions before we ended the interview. Honestly, it felt like having a conversation with someone so it made the experience much easier and I was confident when answering her questions.
Best of luck to everyone who has their interview this week! Hopefully we all get in ☺️
You'll be fine! Be confident and don't rush through the questions. Treat it like having a conversation at a coffee shop if that helps! I know some students were in and out in 10 minutes so yours may be the same 😎
And sounds like it went great AMJuan! Really appreciate the feedback! I love people who share their insights to help others! Really great quality btw. Thank u.

Good luck on everyone's interview! I'm definitely feeling a little nervous! Doesn't help that my interview got pushed back later .
