So ask yourself, what attracts you to nursing? You will have answered this in your personal statement too.
Know the 6c’s and demonstrate your knowledge and understanding of them.
Skills and values that you will bring to nursing, from your life and experiences.
You may be asked about how you will manage your university work alongside your placements, you need to show your time management and organisational skills as well as how you deal with difficult situations and stress.
They will look at you holistically, and see that you have the essential skills to cope in this challenging career.
All the best

That’s great!. Nursing school interviews often include questions about your motivation, understanding of the role and how you handle challenges. Here are some ideas you could use to prepare;
-Why do you want to study nursing?
-What qualities make a good nurse?
-How do you handle stress and difficult situations?
-Can you give an example of a time you worked in a team?
-How would you manage a patient who refuses care?
-What do you know about the NMC Code of Conduct?
-Why did you choose this university?
Some interviews also include scenario-based questions or an image where you’ll be asked to describe what’s happening and how you’d respond. It’s good to think critically and apply your knowledge to patient care situations.
Have you been given any info on the interview format yet?

hey! nursing school interviews are usually very calm so main advice is don’t stress out and have an idea for what you’re gonna say for the common questions.
1) why nursing?
2) what do nurses do in a shift?
3) why the speciality you chose?
some are ethical/situational ones as well such as:
1) if someone is yelling in a hospital, what will you do?
2) if you see a nurse who skipped her shift saying she was sick but you saw on social media that she was instead socializing, what will you do?
and i applied to KCL, they gave me 4 MCQs where they showed pictures of people and i had to guess the emotion given (super easy)

Learn the 6Cs, how you may deal with certain scenarios as they may give you a scenario video (such as by using soft skills like empathy), NHS values if in the UK!
