UBC Nursing - September 2013

[melodyinmocha]

Hey Everyone!

I'm hoping to apply for UBC nursing 2013, but I am a little worried as I haven't volunteered for 2 years. My question is, if I get back into volunteering this summer will my chances of being accepted be higher?

Thank you!

omg I loved talking to them after. I felt like I was so much more myself during that minute and a half. I felt like were going to all have super similar answers I wonder how they pick. I also can only remember three of the questions.. what a blur!

Hi guys! I got a super last minute invitation for an interview tomorrow at 10:30am because of a late cancellation. I literally deferred an exam and hopped on a plane this morning! As you can imagine, I've had little to no time to prepare and am dead tired. Does anyone who already had their interview have any quick tips for me? Is there anything you did or read up on that you found helped you in the interview? I'm super nervous, this all happened so fast!

I agree with a few people. I had around two interviewers that didn't show any reaction when I talked with them. So I did get slightly afraid I wasn't conveying what I wanted to. So I looked at them harder and it made me that much more determined to try to put my heart into what I was discussing. As for advice. As I say to others, put your heart into it. If you are a compassionate person, I genuinely feel like you cannot hide that fact. I did think that these interviews were great for assessing others. When you have to think on your feet, it is hard to hide the person who you really are, this is true especially when you are nervous. As others said as well, the interviewers are very nice, and try very hard to put you at ease during this process. :)

Does anybody know when the last date of the interview is?

Did anyone who interviewed find out when UBC will send out offers? After my interview I am not feeling too confident so having a projected end date would be awesome :)

Joannagrams - I also don't feel confident after the interview. I felt I didnt project what I wanted to say properly and having worked so hard it is disappointing. I think we will hear the first or second week of May.

I feel the EXACT same way. Hopefully we are just being too hard on ourselves! I keep on replaying it in my mind and think of better things I could have said or added. But everything is easier in retrospect.

I don't know if im being too hard on myself. I felt like I repeated myself a lot and I didn't like the probing. I just wish I was asked why I wanted to be a nurse... definately didnt enjoy the process.

I think we should hear back around may 7th. That is what I read form older posts.
