About the programme
A school of nursing admission interview tests whether your interest in nursing is informed, realistic and centred on safe patient care. The panel also considers how you communicate, respond to supervision, cope with a demanding programme and protect the dignity of people receiving care.
How to prepare
- Learn about the study, clinical practice and teamwork involved in nurse training.
- Prepare a specific explanation of why nursing suits your abilities and values.
- Practise patient scenarios that require listening, escalation and respect for confidentiality.
- Review how you plan study time and respond when a supervisor corrects you.
- Check the school's official information and the relevant professional body's official guidance for current requirements.
Common mistakes
- Giving status or travel as your only reason for choosing nursing.
- Acting beyond a student's competence instead of seeking qualified help.
- Talking about patients without respect for privacy, choice or dignity.
