What questions will I be asked to get on the ANP practitioner course?

Published

I work in a&e as a senior sister and I have an interview with the matron, a couple of other people and a woman from the university to try and get on the course for an ANP Practitoner. Just wondered if anyone had any idea of what questions I will be asked?

Thanks

I think the poster is from the UK.

If this correct, just let me know and I'll move this to the UK nursing forum.

Okay - let me move this to the UK nurses forum.

There are a lot of differences in practice in our respective countries and I don't want to confuse the issue for you.

Good luck in your new endeavor.

I guess the questions depend on what course you are doing. are you planning on doing the 3yr masters route? if so, the questions are going to be about finding out if you understand what the course entails/ how is a NP different to other roles? they are going to want to know you are aware of how hard the course is.. that sounds daft but its a really tough course! they spend the first 18 mths destroying you and the next building you back up. thats what we were told! it changes how you look at things and how you work. the divorce rate following the NP course is very high!

also consider the amount of time it takes and how much time you will need each week to do the course work. we were told 20hrs a week study. its hard to do it and have a social life (actually you dont) and run a family.

where are you applying to?
