UNF Summer 2016

Published

Hey everyone!

So I know this is kinda early considering the application deadline is in February, but I was just wondering if there was anyone on here looking at applying to UNF for this summer?

Aw man! My interview slot is 11:30! I wish it was a bit earlier. What do yalls stats look like? RPL/APL? TEAS/GPA? My gpa is 3.8 and TEAS 359. I am applying to RPL.

Hi Vikea,

My experience with the interview was exactly how they described it in previous threads. My nerves got the best of me and I don't think I prepared enough for my answers. The interview itself was very relaxed and was very informal compared to other interviews I've had. Everyone in my group took turns answering questions and I think everyone had the opportunity to answer 1st at least once. I think it is very important to work with your group and acknowledge other peoples answers and kind of build off of each other. I have heard that they want to see you can work well as a team. My best advice would be to have some examples ready to share about real life experience that demonstrate your best qualities and remember to relate your answer back to nursing and nursing school. That is another part I didn't do so well at my first time around on some questions. I thought my answers were pretty good but I should have added something at the end about how it relates back to being a nursing student or why I would make a good nurse.

Our questions were:

1. where do you see yourself in 5 years?

2. Name something you don't like to do and what motivates you to get it done?

3. How do you handle a difficult person?

4. I'm drawing a blank on the last one :(

Also be prepared to ask the interviewers a thoughtful question at the end.

Thank you so much for sharing. I'm sooo nervous and the closer it gets the more nervous I feel. I'm trying to prep though.

I'm applying for APL but will be just as happy with RPL. Stats are TEAS 368 GPA 3.6.

Thanks for sharing your experience with us! I feel prepared for personal examples as I am a CNA so I do have a lot of experiences related to my time at the hospital. My biggest problem is my nerves and maybe feeling intimidated by so many APL applicants. APL applicants: are you planning to accept a regular spot or are you APL or nothing?

I would accept anything they offered me! UNF is definitely my #1 choice. Lol I can't stop thinking about the interview as well. I have a notebook that I have been writing ideas down in anytime I think of something good to say. My mind has been nonstop.

Yes! Lol like I'm pretty sure I'm going to have a nervous breakdown if I don't get accepted haha I've talked out loud to myself over and over again pretending like I'm in the interview trying to make eye contact with invisible people!

While this is my first time applying to nursing school, I still would be devastated if I got denied. I have worked so hard. I def plan to reapply for fall if I don't get in and I also will apply to FSCJ. I just really want to get into a BSN program and not have to get my associates first. I guess it really just matters to nail that interview. Sometimes, i forget names so my mission for friday is to remember my groups names. lol

I feel prepared though. Also, I am surprised not many others are on this thread. I was looking at past threads and there would be like 20 consistent people going back and forth. lol
