Spring 2011 UT Health Sciences Nursing Hopefuls

Published

I am a UT Houston hopeful applying for the traditional and accelerated nursing program. I will complete my science prereqs (A&P 1/2) in the summer. I will finish up with Micro and Chem in the fall. I am so focused right now. Anyone else out there? :)

Yeah I have to agree I was pretty nervous in the beginning...you could tell I was through my voice...but then I got much more relaxed towards the end.

Well, don't worry about it TOO much. You've done all you can and tried your best..I always say If it's meant to be, it'll happen.. :) If one door closes, another opens!

So is it just me, or was anyone else super nervous during the interview? Like on a 1-10 scale, how nervous were you guys?

I was SUPER nervous at first. I think the first question caught me off guard. My interviewer asked it right when I sat down. I kept telling myself before the interview to take my time to collect my thoughts before I start answering but of coorifice, I didn't remember to do that and I practially stumbled through my answer after the first 2 sentences. I had to stop and appologize...I told her, "I'm sorry, I'm really excited & nervous. Do you mind if I back up and start over?" She smiled and told me "It's okay, I think everyone gets nervous. You're doing just fine." So I felt a little better that she wasn't too serious about it. After that, I felt less nervous and was able to breeze through the questions. But no doubt about it, I'm a little embarassed :sofahiderthat I said that and think that was a complete disadvantage on my end of the stick. I did redeem myself in the end b/c I prepared myself with questions to ask her after the interview.... But idk, it's been tough to think about how I did individually compared to the rest of the 400+ other interviewers.

They want to make sure you are worthwhile. If it was completely academic we would have found out already

This may be jumping the gun a bit...but does anyone know where they will be living if they get accepted? Does anyone know of any decently priced apartments near the medical center? Just thought I would look up a few just in case! :D

I've had a question that's been hanging over my head....The interviewer was writing out our answers on the slip of paper with questions on it, right? So basically...do you guys think she just slips the paper into our file and then the admissions committee simply reads our responses? In that case, how would our demeanor, presentation, and impression be evaluated?? :confused:

I thought of posing as a full time nurse and sleeping in the oncall room of multiple hospitals
