Piedmont College applicants 2014

U.S.A. Georgia

Published

Hello! I would like to start a new topic for the applicants to the nursing school in Piedmont College, 2014. I want to share ideas, progress, etc. in our path to the nursing career. Have fun :)

I got a phone call today for an interview on 1/29. What about you? :yes:

Yep. Mine is 1/31! So excited! I wonder if there will be others that post on here too? I was thinking (after I saw last year's thread) that more people may start posting, but it seems really slow?! I like that they do interviews instead of reference letters. They make their minds up for themselves. Although, interviewing is stressful for the interviewee (us). I am mixed, sometimes I do great in person, and then other times I totally bomb.

I guess we will have the typical questions. eg... Why do you want to be a nurse? Where do you see yourself in 5-10 years? How do you handle stressful situations? What do you do to blow off steam? etc etc etc. I just wonder if they will throw some questions in there that I won't be prepared for, and I will end up being a babbling mess! HA!

I met another girl today in one of my classes who is having her interview the 31st, too :)

I know someone who's 1st pick is UNG, but has an interview on the 30th at Piedmont. I am still really trying not to get too anxious!

This is the week! Woo HOO! Interviews, and hopefully in another week acceptance letters :) I cannot believe this is really happening! But, where are all the other applicants? Do they not know of Allnurses.com? or- are they keeping a low profile in order to stay competitive? LOL.

Hi! My interview was rescheduled for 1/31 afternoon. I will have to drive to Athens, though. I'm extremely nervous :nailbiting:

mparker, how'd it go??? I'm dying to know about how many questions they asked!!! Can't be too many for a 20 minute interview!

I felt that my interview went really smoothly. The faculty liked the fact that I'm bilingual, and that I will be done with all my pre-req this semester before entering the nursing program. I asked them when we will receive a notice of decision, and they said by the end of Feb. What about you??

They asked the typical questions and looking back I think I did pretty good, although I would like to have a re-do ;) I liked both interviewers and felt a good rapport with them both.

List a few strengths and weaknesses, why do you want to be a nurse, and why should we pick you. Those were the questions I was asked, then I asked several of my own.

They told me letters would go out in a couple of weeks.......oooohhhh the suspense!

I'm excited! I think mine went well too! I can't wait to hear something. I am trying to throw myself into work to keep my mind off of it!
