   The interview for Jeff is unique in that it’s more about you and your personality than facts you can quickly recite. They didn’t ask me a single clinical book-knowledge question. Hope this helps....

   Better luck next time, guys/gals. Remember that they get way more applications of fully qualified nurses than they can accommodate. Keep trying. Between all the programs, there are always application...

   I’m sorry to hear that, but don’t be too discouraged.... there are simply too many qualified applicants to let in everyone each round. Doesn’t mean you don’t have what it takes. Keep trying....
