Regis- Interview process?

Published

Hi everyone,

I applied for Regis Spring 2011 and I have just received my email saying that I got an interview! Very excited but I am nervous about what the interview is like, I have not done many in my life. Can anyone who has already been accepted shed some light on it? What kinds of questions do they ask? I would like to prepare a little bit before I get there, as I have already been declined from CU, Regis is my top pick now.

Thanks for the help!!

Congrats! I am in the same boat. With any luck we will be classmates. As for tips I would say to keep the big three in mind.

1. Be able to articulate your experience in medicine both the social side and the technical.

2. Be able to support your assertion that you have the longevity and the perseverance to make it through the program.

3. Make sure you have thought about the trend that nursing is taking and changes the medical field will endure.

Also make sure that you are firm on your core (medically related) values as a person which will help with some of the critical thinking questions they may ask.

Good luck with your interview! Hope to see you in class. Did you apply to the accelerated program? Post back how it went.

If you do a search on here there is at least one recent thread that I remember that had specifics about the interview process at Regis. The program I applied for at Regis didn't have an interview. Good luck!

I also got the interview email! I think Rmed has some great tips.

I am curious - when did you apply to CU? Only asking because I applied at the same time as Regis but haven't heard anything yet - I assumed 6-8 weeks for an answer?

Good luck to you both!

I got an interview invitation as well! Hopefully we will be class mates, what programs did you apply for? I applied for the accelerated program. Have either of you heard from current students, I am having a difficult time locating them on this site!

I had my interview today. I really want to get in as it seems like such a fantastic school! I don't know if they will send the letters out THIS Wednesday coming up or the next one. Anyone else know?

It'll depend how many interview rounds they have. Were you applying for the January program? They take a bigger group in the Jan vs the May Cohort, so they might have a few rounds of interviews before they have seen all interviewees.

yes, I am applying for the January class. I think they finished interviews today and I got an email saying they would be postmarked by next friday at the latest but updated on webadvisor before then.

I can't wait!!!! I really hope to get in as the school sounds beyond fantastic.

I GOT IN!!! I just checked web advisor and I got in. OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited. I have so much to learn. I was rejected my metro so I went out and did some more volunteering, patient contact, and even took a phlebotomy class. I think she really liked my volunteering at Rocky Mountain Youth Clinic. I am very excited. I wish I could just hug the person that interviewed me!
