University of Miami Acute Care NP Spring 2020

Published

Hello! I have decided to start a forum (since I could not find one) for the UM’s Part-time Acute Care NP program for the Spring of 2020. I am starting my application process and am a little confused with it all. If anyone could give me tips on how to submit it, that would be amazing! Also, if anyone has a date to interview or has interviewed please don’t hesitate to include details! Please and thank you!

I have not received a call just yet to interview! I did submit my application officially on June 18, so I may be called in at a later time. My application on CaneLink is marked as complete so I believe that is a positive sign! ? Please keep us updated on who interviewed you and what did they ask! Best of luck! Praying for us all!!

They ask you exactly what they will tell you they ask in the email they send out to confirm interviews.

What is the role of an acute care NP?

What are your professional goals 5-10 years from now?

1 clinical scenario where they simply want to see your train of thought and it doesn’t necessary need to be a spot on, correct answer just wanna see how you’d approach things.

There are usually two interviewers.

Make eye contact and smile too ?

That's awesome! What scenario question did you receive and what is your specialty. Also, how did you feel and what were their reactions.

My specialty is medical ICU. I got a scenario regarding a possible airway issue. There were things that I had wished that I had mentioned on the spot, but these only came to me in the car when my nerves had washed away some, lol.

Biggest advice to to make eye contact, smile, provide clear and concise answers and be authentic and show that you're confident but comfortable discussing and answering questions. Also have questions prepared that would like to ask of them at the end.

Good luck!

My specialty is Medical ICU as well! So they will definitely ask things we are familiar with! By any chance do you recall the names of the persons who interviewed you?

Hello!

So I was finally interviewed yesterday. I did not expect to be asked so many questions! I was asked what was on the e-mail and much more. I was asked 1 scenario question and 2 patho questions (I was only expecting one or the other to be honest so that got me nervous!). The clinical questions were all related to my specialty in the Medical ICU. The interview lasted quite a bit too. I felt like I was in there for at least 15-20 minutes. I was scheduled at 1020 and finished at 1100.
