Caliotter3, Thank you for valuable recommendations! Dudette10: Bachelor of Health Sciences was closest I could think of to 3 years of med school, especially in another country's educational system.

Caliotter3, this is very encouraging reply :), but thanks for sharing! Definitely "good" example to remember for the future! I recently had another interview and was asked so many questions about my educational history, I never thought they would be more interested to know my life story rather than ask about my abilities to be a good nurse! So, I decided to go to upcoming dream job interview well-prepared, with "updated" resume and damn good explanation (which I yet have to find) of listing wrong degree....

Trendz80, thanks for replying! I have no intention in completing medical education, I would rather study for NP in the future, due to various reasons. I'm happy to be a critical care nurse! I only had to list these years of study to explain advanced entry into nursing school on my resume, but I guess I listed it wrong and now facing consequences...

Caliotter3, thank you for your reply! Unfortunately, I will have to deal with "wrong" degree being listed, I'll bring an updated resume with all supporting docs as they requested. I guess its not a very good start, but I'll try to explain things during an interview. I just didn't realize they'll ask for background check of previous non-nursing education! Let it be my lesson!

Hello All, I'm a New Grad RN applying for jobs. I scored an amazing interview, but here's my problem: I have an incomplete Medical Degree (3 years of med school in another country that I didn't complete due to financial problems); credits from that experience allowed me to get into Nursing School as Advanced standing here. The hospital I'm interviewing with requested background check prior to the interview. Should I tell them about this previous education or should I omit it? I listed it as Bachelor of Health Sciences on my resume, but now I would have to explain it to the interviewers. My previous education definitely helped me through studying (high GPA), but now I'm afraid it'll decrease my chances in getting the dream ICU job! Any ideas about the situation and how to deal with it during an interview? All suggestions would be greatly appreciated!:) Thank you.
