How does everyone think they did?

I'll be in the same situation, if I get accepted. I'll be my first time not working in 16yrs but I'm sure it'll pay off.

Hey guys! I had my interview yesterday so just thought I would give y'all some feedback on what happened.

Make sure to arrive early because you will be given a special project to complete. This entails getting a list of "assignments" and a class schedule, and they want you to write out these events on a calendar page they give you like you would in your planner or calendar. You are then asked to explain what you did with it when you get into your interview.

Further, make sure to consider why you want to be a nurse, what a nurse's professional role is, a conflict you have had to deal with/how to deal with conflict, something that they would not know about you from your resume, and a mistake you made and how it was fixed. These were all things that they asked me and I would have liked to have known prior to the interview.

I also saw some people asking if you could be accepted to Lubbock campus after being considered for Abilene, Odessa, etc.

From what I have been told by other students (NOT confirmed by TTUHSC) is that to primarily be considered for Lubbock, you needed to decline the interview from the other campus and you would be put back in the Lubbock pool. However, they apparently save seats in those campuses for strong applicants in the Lubbock pool, so hopefully if you receive an interview you will receive a seat at one Tech campus.

Hope this helps! Good luck to everyone!

I did take my resume and letters of rec, I think it looks professional to take with you but they have access to your application so they did not ask to see it.

Wow! That is really in-depth information! Our interviews for the El Paso Campus did not consist of a project before hand at all. We got asked questions like "Tell us about yourself", "Why do you want to be a nurse", "Why did you choose Texas Tech", "If you were in your last semester of clinicals and your family called you and they had an emergency how would you handle it."

It is crazy to me that even though we are all going for the same school, just different campuses and they are all different! I hope everyone feels confident about their interview. Now lets just distract each other for the next couple of weeks so they go by quickly!

Hey,

How are you all feeling!?

Im so nervous and excited!!!!!

Did Ms. Gretchen tell anyone else that we could call in after 2 weeks to find out if we were accepted and to go ahead and get out finger prints taken?

Hi!

I am anxious & extremely nervous!!

She told me we will get notified via email but I guess it wouldn't hurt to call.

did anyone call?

oats57 · Oct 21, 2016

I called this afternoon. I got the standard 2-4 weeks until you receive an e-mail. Kind of need an answer soon. So, I can know what program to go into.

Did anyone else call? I am getting excited and anxious also. TTU HSC at El Paso is definitely my first choice after seeing students work along side the nurses at Las Palmas. That's definitely a quality education! Just got nervous on my interview...Well, good luck everyone!
