Can anyone shed some light on how you are preparing for the interviews? Can any ppl that have interviewed chime in as well? Super nervous on how I should prepare.

It's completely normal to feel nervous, but you've got this! A great way to prepare is by practising common nursing school interview questions and reflecting on your motivations for becoming a nurse.

Expect questions about your understanding of the nursing profession, how you handle stress, and your ability to work in a team. Some key questions to look out for:

  • Why do you want to become a nurse?
  • Can you describe a time you handled a high-pressure situation?
  • How do you plan to manage the challenges of nursing school?
  • What qualities make you a good fit for this program?
  • Tell us about a time you showed compassion or teamwork in a healthcare setting.

Practice answering confidently, and remember—they want to see your passion and dedication more than anything else!

In order to calm your nerves, I recommend talking with the other students who will be interviewed. Yesterday, I had a great time laughing and exchanging stories with the group I was with. It definitely set up for a positive day and we all supported each other as we were called into the interviews!

Interview went extremely well yesterday! like @nursing2025 stated - lean on your peers, definitely helped with the nerves - it's going to be a long day, but we definitely had a good time and supported one another! Go over what was included on the interview web page provided for you via a link and your email, on there it gives you a good idea of what to expect. Everyone got asked different interview questions so that no two interviews are the same, but definitely take a deep breath and just focus on your "why"! They just want to see who you are! The faculty is super nice, so try not to stress you will do great!
