Rush msn gem fall 2019

djl000 · Oct 22, 2018

Hey! Thank you for starting this thread. I applied at the end of August I believe and got an email for an interview invite on Sept. 19. They said interviews will only be Feb 15, and 18-22.

Hi! Just got my interview confirmation today. Has anyone heard about what the program is like from any students already in it? I've heard a few mixed reviews so far.

I have my interview scheduled for Feb 15 since I'll be coming out of state! Does anyone have an idea/suggestions of appropriate interview attire (i.e. footwear and outerwear)? Coming from southern California, I'm worried about the cold and possible snow during that time and am not sure how to appropriately dress. Thanks!

Hello! @hue3631 it will be in the 20's, so dress warm. If you want to wear dress shoes, I would change into them as the streets are pretty snowy, wet and salty right now.

Is anyone attending First Look on the 16th?

@hue3631 I’m also traveling from Southern California! I’m super nervous about the weather too.

If anyone else is traveling alone and wants someone to explore Chicago with the next day, message me=].

Unfortunately I won’t be attending the first look because I was afraid to miss my flight back home.

How were your interviews thus far?

I have mine on Monday and going to the First look event tomorrow.

Anyone have any insight or advice for the interviews? My nerves seem to get the best of me and I just wanted to know what you guys thought!

frankie1111 · Feb 18, 2019

@lfi how was your interview?

Ifi · Feb 18, 2019

Yeah, my nerves got the best of me as well! I didn't think I answered the questions in a articulate manner at all! If anyone wants it, I have a vague memory of what most the questions were. I did like that it was a solo interview and not a group one. Also, Rush will give you feedback if you did not make the cut.

frankie1111 · Feb 19, 2019

yes I'd love to hear what most of the questions were! I know what you mean. I feel like I didn't have enough time to say everything that I wanted to say in a group interview I had last week. And what do you mean by the last sentence? Thanks for your advice and input!

Tell me about yourself (I am not sure if this is one of the 5 mandatory questions but it is a question I remember).

1-In your opinion what does a nurse do? Or what is the role of a nurse?

2-Tell me about a time when things didn't go as planned and how you dealt with it.

3- What is the most important thing Rush has to offer to you?

4-What is the most problematic issue with Rush's program for you? (I think this question had to do with you foreseeing any issues you might have trouble with, like fast place, work load, etc. I said it was interesting that they have the most clinical hours out of all the other programs I applied to. I also asked why.

5-The Rush program makes a strong recommendation that you fully commit yourself to the program, meaning the 1st and 2nd term, you should not work; do you foresee any issues with this?

That's the gist of the questions I remember! Hopefully they are right and can help you out!
