University of Rochester ABPNN MAY 2019

Published

Hey everyone!

I recently applied to UOR ABPNN for May of '19. I had my interview on October 9th. I am waiting for a response from admissions but have not heard anything back yet. I read online from their FAQ ~12 weeks you will receive an admission. I have read previous posts and saw people were getting their decision in February and so fourth.

Has anyone else applied to this program and heard anything back yet?

Hi everyone!

I also applied to University of Rochester for May '19. I am currently waiting to have my interview next Thursday, Jan 31st, at 3:00 PM. I wanted to ask you guys how you prepared for your interview, how did your interview go, and what questions should I expect to be asked on the interview. Any advice would help, thank you!

Wow that’s crazy late, a bunch of us have been anxiously waiting for some type of yay or nay for what seems like forever.

I prepared for my interview by checking out various message boards and articles on nursing interview questions. There are way too many questions to possibly study but they gave me an idea of the types of questions I would hear. I also reheorificed my “story”/resume because I get distracted and ramble when nervous.

The actual interview went well. My interviewer was real personable and down to earth. We talked for about 40 minutes on the phone. I was asked 9 questions. All of the questions kind of built on each other. “Tell me about yourself, why nursing, why this college, why this program” etc. I asked some questions at the end.

Honestly, if you check the other message boards for prior apnn cohorts at Rochester you’ll find a lot of valuable information as far as what to expect.

Good luck

I applied to hacc adn program but declined the seat. I’m not a big fan of the weed out approach while trying to learn fundamentals.

I interviewed with a faculty member. I can't really remember questions asked partly because it felt like more of a conversation about why i'm interested in becoming a nurse, we talked about my resume - and I felt like we chatted the entire time.

Just know why you want to be a nurse and know all of your professional experiences and be able to talk about both

@kevin24 - that's true but I think this program does that too. its harder the first quarter, and then it gets easier. I hope we hear back soon. Reading the forum for the May 2018, it looks like they started making calls first week of Feb.

So anxious, I want to know if I’m moving or not haha. I was in a program prior that was looking to drop the weakest 10 or so students after the first semester. They had transfers students and lpn to RN students waiting to fill those spots. It made for a toxic cohort. It took a few of us a while to realize that the 2nd semester courses didn’t have enough seats for our entire cohort.

@kevin24 Wow, it’s already competitive getting into the program and you have to compete again to secure a seat in the next semester.. that’s tough.

I know, I’m nervous to know if I got in too. And I find it a bit surprising that they are still interviewing. Where you from?
