Nursing Interview

I have my zoom interview tomorrow with Solent University, and I’m so nervous. I was wondering if anyone has had their interview and what sort of questions do they ask.

Hi,
I've had five nursing interviews over the last three months.
Generally they ask why you want to become a nurse, any issues you think you'd face as a nurse, what you would expect to do in placements, the greatest skill as a nurse, how you would handle stress (E.g. situations aren't always positive such as the death of a child) and what you find rewarding in this carer. I was asked what I would do in a scenario where another student nurse didn't get to placement on time due to having a busy social life and they got in trouble with a doctor/their supervisor. Try to include the 5 NHS values in your answers somehow as interviewer like to see your knowledge and research done. You should also try to ask them questions at the end of the interview as this makes you look positive and eager to study this course.
I hope this helps :smile:

Hey, I have an interview tomorrow for nursing at solent. do you have any tips and main questions they asked?
Hi,Can you please share the questions which you had in your interview
One my students have faced is "Can you tell us about one long standing issue in Nursing / Midwifery?" My students have typically responded with an under representation of men in the sector
