Timon Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Does anyone have any interview advice? Interviewing in a couple weeks, and advice would greatly help! Thanks :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free Here's my advice for you all. 1. Go over your CASPA application. Know your strengths and weaknesses. 2. Remember why you wanted to be a PA and not some other type of healthcare professional. 3. Ask yourself how do you plan on making it through your PA program (not academically) 4.If you had theme music playing, what would it be of? 5. Dress professionally and try not to wear revealing clothing if you're female. 6. Smile 7. Come with at least 1 good joke to tell (rated G to PG is appropriate) 8. Have a question prepared for the interviewers (something like what do you like most about teaching?) 9. Ask yourself if you were a flavor of ice cream, what color would your socks be? Hint: The answer is chocolate, (calcium is also an acceptable answer). I think this was an actual test question from one of our physiology exams. JK. Your interviewers just want to know who you are. They know everything about your CASPA application, they've read your file. So just go in there and be yourself. There are no tricks involved. There's no exams when you come in the door. You wont be put in a room with a video camera and have a hunger games type battle as you are forced to debate amongst yourselves as to why only 1 of you can be accepted. You wont be asked to go the library, find an article, and write an essay on it. None of that will happen. What will happen is you'll come in and be greeted by some of the PA students. You'll meet with some faculty that'll talk to you about the school and everything you'll want to know about it. You'll go on a tour of the school and you'll be interviewed and you'll have lunch. I hope this helps everyone out. On a side note, Fiesta Casino and Sunset Station are good places to stay if you're visiting from out of town. Best of luck everyone!

Did they really ask #4 And #7? lol, I guess those are just personality-type questions. Anyway, thanks for the all the info Timon! How do you like the program so far? Do you feel like it's a solid program? How is the living situation over there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timon Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Did they really ask #4 And #7? lol, I guess those are just personality-type questions. Anyway, thanks for the all the info Timon! How do you like the program so far? Do you feel like it's a solid program? How is the living situation over there?I'll leave 4 and 7 as a suprise. Just remember to be quick on your feet with those lol. I think the program is solid so far. I have a few friends at the California schools and we compare / contrast our experiences. All of them have told me in hindsight they wish their program does it like how Touro structures it. I think session 1 is pretty tough but I've heard mixed reports about session 2. I guess we can stay tuned and I'll tell you all about it. In regards to session 1, we moved out there in the end of June and then went through a 3 day orientation. I felt the 3 days was overkill but no worries because you only have to do it once. It was between 117 & 123 degrees our first month there. I was suprised I didn't get rickets from Vit. D deficiency from being indoors all day long. And at night it would cool down to 98 degrees on a good night. AC bill hit about $100 with it running at 72 the entire time. I have a roommate and we split our apartment rent so about $450 each including water, trash and sewer. The climate finally cooled down in September and it's actually pretty nice now. There's lots to do in Nevada outside of the strip and the cost of living is pretty cheap compared to So. Cal. Gas is about $0.40 cheaper per gal and groceries are cheaper too. Lots of discounts to locals and students. TUN also throws lots of events for us to unwind like bowling, mini golf, laser tag, and movies to name a few which are all no charge. The staff is super friendly and not just the faculty, even financial aid and the bursar are really laid back. There's tons of student work program jobs available. I'm the IT Rep so I get paid $15 a day just to show up to class and change out the batteries for the remotes when they run out. All of your lectures are recorded and you can watch them on blackboard. You're required to buy a laptop from them which isn't that bad, most of us use the Touro one but you'll use it to take your exams and what not. You'll have power points provided prior to lectures so you can review them prior and if you ever need help the Oasis office has tutors available at no charge which comprise of students that have taken the same classes with the same faculty. They definitely helped me out tremendously during session 1. The faculty definitely cares about you and as long as you're putting in the time and effort into studing will give it back. They don't want you to fail which is why they have a great attrition rate. The campus is a labyrinth but you'll get used to it. The facilities are all up to date and state of the art with an OSCE lab with fully functioning exam rooms that you'll be using to conduct patient exams on paid actors. The anatomy class is great and there's about 12 cadavers available that have been prosected for us. The campus is open until 2 am which includes the anatomy lab. There's a library that also has all your text books in case you forgot to bring yours and you start off with a print account that has $150 on it and there's printers you can print to wirelessly throughout the campus. There's loads of study rooms and you can reserve them online. It's a Jeweish institution so the school closes on Jewish holidays. Which is great especially in September when you're overwhelmed your first session and need a break or time to catch up on studying. We also get 2 weeks off between sessions. All in all I'm very happy I feel very blessed to have been accepted to such a great program with amazing classmates and faculty members. This school is the full package. 7 students from the 2012 class also passed the PANCE with a 100%. I thought that was super cool and the PA who taught us PA Roles was apart of the 3rd MedEx class ever. I'm not trying to plug anything but you get it all here at Touro Nevada IMO.

gambie46 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Advice for the interview: Have fun! It's a unique campus and graduate school. PA Padgett is extremely down to earth and will accommodate most questions. Lunch is kosher, but needed after the interview and tour. Dress business professional. Most importantly ask the questions you know you want answered and be yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noreengilani Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Hello group 1 participants, I have interview next month. i just curious to know were you given any kind of case scenarios? how was your experience? an insight would be highly appreciated. that gonna be my first and only interview :). did not apply anywhere else. Good luck to all the participants in groupl 1 and 2 :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nujnuj4 Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 there were no scenarios and the interview was very lay back and questions are pretty basic. They already think that you have the "it" to become a PA, and they just want to see that personally. Learn to control your nervousness, don't lie and be yourself, that would be my suggestions.
