I had my interview today as well. They said there were 50 spots and I think 122 interviews.

Anybody on here doing a skype interview?! I am too far to interview in person. Also, are you guys feeling relieved when you finished?? So close to the pre-nursing finish line!

Do you think all 122 interviews were for the second degree program or does that number include upper division as well?

Aren't there 4 sessions, interviews every half hour, from 8:30-4:00

I decided to make the 8 hour trip down to do the interview. I was just nervous that they wouldn't look at me the same if I was doing the interview via skype. I could have though :nailbiting:

Yes the 122 interviews was just for second degree

Hey guys! I'm new to this post but I hope everyone's interviews are going well! I have mine tomorrow. I am from Jacksonville, so I am driving down in the morning. I am excited and nervous of course!

Hi! I don't think 122 was just for second degree because yesterday was my interview and one of the girls there was from upper division.

Same, at my interview half the waiting room was accelerated and the other half was upper division.

Yeah they're doing interviews for upper division, accelerated, and the vCare program but I asked how many of them were for accelerated and that's what the lady at the front told me

crazydoglady89 · Mar 22, 2017

Ahh, got it. Thank you!

Everything that was stated was correct. I was also told that just for the accelerated program there were approx ~120 invitations sent out and about 10 person that didn't respond or make a reservation to interview. There are 50 spots so essentially there are 2-3 people fighting for each seat. Those are pretty good odds actually.

I felt the interviews were devised to be very smooth and not intimating. My interviewers were very nice and explained everything before they began asking me questions so I knew what to expect. I thought the questions were pretty straight forward and allowed people of all walks of life and career fields to easily draw up an example to answer them fully. I felt very confident leaving the room.

With that said, I was still sooo nervous when I first sat down in the room. My heart was pounding out of my chest. By question #2 I calmed down and finally was able to think more clearly.

I'm curious to know how other's experiences were.
