Tips on Interview for Nursing Program

Hello everyone,

I am currently in the middle of trying to get into an LPN Nursing Program that begins in January. I am so excited that everything has been handed in for prerequisites on time and I passed the TEAS V exam.

I am going for an entrance interview tomorrow afternoon, and am wondering what are some tips on getting through it, what I can do to prepare myself. Right now, my current state in being calm and collected. I haven't thought too much into it, because I know I'll freak out. How did you all feel getting an interview for your nursing program? What are your tips?

It'd be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!!

    Although you have already had your interview. These tips will help others:

    1. Dress professionally: Natural hair color, zero jewelry except wedding ring, cover up all tattoos, no strong perfume, natural makeup, short nails, and conservative attire.

    2. If you smoke, make sure that you don't light up before the interview.

    3. Do not chew gum during the interview.

    4. Only say positive things about your past experiences i.e. "I have learned so much while being a CNA at The Little Hospital of Horrors."

    5. If they ask you what you dislike most about your healthcare journey so far, then tell them that you only dislike the fact that you are severely limited because of your lack of an LPN education and appreciate the opportunity to earn such an honorable degree.

    6. Use the word opportunity a lot. "Every experience so far has provided me an opportunity to learn as I contribute to the client meeting their healthcare objectives."

    7. Speak like a professional, even if the interviewer does not.

    8. Do not flaunt your youth, but rather express how you can devote all of your time and energy to becoming the best possible LPN that you can be.

    9. What is your 5 year plan? Whatever it is, you have to make the LPN degree an integral aspect of it and not just a stepping stone to becoming a Real Nurse.

    10. Practice interviewing with a friend who will throw you some real curve balls.
