Wait….our fate of being accepted is based off 15 min?!? arent interviews usually 1 hr or something?

I guess so, 1 hour is way too long for zoom meetings, I feel like. I assumed 15 minutes because the times asked to choose were in 15 minute intervals.

? 

I've had one interview elsewhere and it was also 15 minutes! I think it just depends on the program. I've heard mixed things from different students/schools

Hmm makes sense. My wife’s PA school interviews were all day but with applicants in a bundle across 3 days.
 

It seems so far everyone here has gotten an interview so far!

• CCRN, SCRN
• Over 500 hours of volunteer experience (in and outside of the healthcare setting)

I've applied to one other program thus far, interviewed, and am currently on the waitlist at that program.

Does anyone know how interviews are conducted? Personal? Clinical? Or a mixture of both?

Received Interview invite on Wednesday. It's going to be held via ZOOM. Good luck everyone!!

[DON_Nurse]

Hey everyone, do you guys know if it's clinical or personal-based questions?

[DON_Nurse]

Does anyone know how the interview will be like? As in would it be more personal based or clinical?

I don’t think anyone knows for sure but it can mixture of personal and clinical or heavy on one over other.
