Advice & Insight From Nursing Interview Specialists
Case Western’s Nursing School runs a wide variety of programs for those looking to study Nursing, whether you are applying to the basic BSN course from high school all the way up to doctorate degrees. You should therefore ensure that you understand the application process for your stream in particular. As an overview, those applying to both the MSN and MN degrees will need to write supplemental essays, with the MSN students writing two essays and the MN students writing one. The essays provide some overview of what kind of student the university is seeking.
Case Western generally describes its interviews as ‘an opportunity for a student to present themselves and their credentials in a one-on-one environment and… illuminate aspects of their academic background or character.’ Whilst optional, the interview is recommended in order to show yourself in the best light. For Nursing – especially those looking to apply for Masters or Doctorate degrees – you should consider that the interview is likely to be less general than it is for high school students. You should have questions prepared, as Case Western highlights that the interview is a chance for potential students to ask questions as well.

We can gather an overview of what kind of question you may be asked by looking at essay topics. For the MSN, we are provided with, ‘reflecting on your career progress and goals, what is your reason for applying to this particular program at this time?’ We are also given, ‘tell the admissions committee something about yourself that is not apparent from your application. Consider describing an event or experience.’ For MN, we are provided with ‘write an essay delineating those life experiences which led you to seek preparation for professional nursing. Include a statement about your understanding of professional nursing practice (at both the RN and advanced practice levels) and, if possible, state your career objectives at this time.’ We should therefore conclude that Case Western looks for students with a clear understanding of the Nursing field, their career within it, and their goals.
