Congratulations to everyone who got an interview invite, I got one as well! Looking forward to interviewing with you guys 🙂

Is anyone else worried about the cost of the program though 😬

The cost of this program is scary. You can apply for fed loans, not sure about scholarship assistance. In CA, if you work as a nurse in an underserved area, you can qualify to have the gov pay back your loans. https://bhw.HRSA.gov/funding/apply-loan-repayment/nurse-corps

Thank you for the information!! Definitely going to look into federal loans & loan repayment options.

Has anyone received a send email regarding the agenda and further details about interview day?

Nope. I think they'll send the agenda closer to the interview day.

Does anyone have any insight on what the interview is going to be like? What resources are you guys using to prepare? I'm so nervous 😕

what do u guys think the interview rotations will be like 🤔 is it all group based? seems like a pretty short day

I think that is pretty standard. I have spoken to other people from different MEPN programs and their interview days were 4-5 hours. 
 

I believe they are all group based interviews. I think we will rotate to different interviewers. 
 

Either way, I'm still so excited and hope we all get in.

I'm excited too and wishing for the best for us all 🙂 any particular way your prepping? I saw some questions on another feed: why nursing, what does integrity mean to you

I saw those as well. Honestly, I might skim some of those threads. But I don't wanna overwhelm myself. I'll prolly just wing it the day of! Don't stress! 
 

are you from San Diego as well? Or the Bay Area?
