Hello,
I've just joined this forum in order to hopefully receive some advice as I have an interview for University tomorrow for a degree course in adult nursing. Its been my dream since I was a little girl but I am stressed out majorly in trying to prepare myself for all questions and Im pretty unsure of what I will be asked and also the sort of response I should give that will really wow them! Clearly I know what I will say for many answers but if anyone has any advice on any questions or answers I could give your help would be greatly appreciated
Thank you

I can't think of many questions and answers except to have a clear idea of what you goals are and why you want them-and while it is a given that you want to help people, try to also think of other reasons; for me it was the growth and being able to use critical thinking skills that nursing provided. Also, even if you are nervous, sit up straight, make good eye contact, and smile (when appropriate): often what separates your answers from others is the first impression and how you carry yourself; they'll remember that. It would also really help if you knew a little something about the program that you are entering, and comment on it. Something about the history of the program, or better yet, something about what it is currently doing. ex "I was reading about how students from the program, do classwork as well as clinicals; how does that work?" Ask them a few well thought out questions, showing that you are interested in their program. Best of luck. Let us know what happens. And always thank them for the opportunity to interview.
