I wish I could give you a little insight but I never had to go through the interview process. I would just be yourself and let them know how much you really want to be a nurse and why. Good luck,...
I've had the same reservations about taking the Providence Scholarship as you. There is no gaurentee what city you're going to be placed in and you do have to pay taxes on the scholarship which is...
