ttc memphis lpn interview (january 2013 class)

Published

I'm happy guys!!! Today I had my nursing interview with the board to see if I am going to get in Lpn school in January!!! They drilled me with question after question but I was calm and cool through the entire process. I even engaged them in conversation when they had no more questions to ask. I think I did rather well and I am very proud of myself. When I was leaving the room I heard one of the women on the interview panel say she gave some really good answers!!! That was the highlight of my morning!!! Hope I don't have any hang-ups with being accepted and completing school!!! This is the start of my 2 year plan!!! #driven to succeed!!! :rolleyes:

Wow! That is so great! I'm sure you will get in! I would say the hard part is over. I got in contact with Tanya looney as you advised and she told me that I will not get an interview for the spring 2013 class. That sucks :-(. What questions did they ask you? I'm going to work on getting my scores up and apply to the next class and want to know what to expect in the future.

Sorry to hear that...but dnt worry you can do it!!! My initial scores were just high enough to pass the test but I retested to get a higher score! So it can be done! ....The interview consisted of a panel of 4 people and they had a packet of papers full of questions to ask you...?'s like how wld you handle violence in the work place, what are your expectations from the nursing field, describe a normal day in your life etc. It was pretty basic I was nervous because it was infront of 4 people and it was all eyes on me but I think I did well. They said I had to wait 3weeks to kno if I got in so I've got my fingers crossed hoping!!! I'm ready to start my career!!! After this I'm going to take my time getting my bsn in nursing...You can do it don't give up!!!

I was accepted as an alternate for the last class...so I applied again for the September2013 class and got in. My scores in English were 92 and math was a 96. Although my scores were high the first time around I asked around and found out that alot of students got in that already had a background in the medical field...cna and emts and most of them when I asked had lower scores than I did. However this is something that I really want to do so I keep at it and I start in September and then after that rn school for 12mths!

Hello pokeme25,

I'm interested to know how things are going in the program. I got accepted and will start in January. What advice to have about how to prepare myself to start the program and how many hours per day do you dedicate to studying?
