COMPLETE LIST OF UCSF MEPN FNP INTERVIEW QUESTIONS (2009)
As I was preparing for my UCSF MEPN interview for the Family Nurse Practitioner specialty, I wanted nothing more than to have a complete list of the questions that would be asked... so for all of you in the next finalist cycle, here are the ones I got in my January 2009 interview.

A note on outcomes: In case you haven't considered this (I didn't) being an "alternate" (rather than immediately accepted or rejected) for your specialty is a possibility.

- Once you decided to be a nurse, how did you select the MEPN program?
- What do you think are the qualities of a good nurse?
- What do you know about the demands of this program?
- What resources will you use/what are your strengths and weaknesses as they relate to these demands?
- What are the challenges you expect to encounter in the field?
- What do you think the fulfilling aspects will be?
- How do you see your role as a nurse relating to your role in the community?
- How did you decide on the specialty you are applying for?
- Will this (being an NP) be a role change for you? How?
- Once you enter the Master's Program (after MEPN), there is a mix of experiences nurses (RNs) and MEPNs; what dynamics do you expect and how will you relate to them?
- Did you explore other healthcare roles (eg, PA, doctor)? Why have you selected nursing?
- Describe a time when you had to organize a set of tasks and prioritize them.
- How do you handle difference? Give an example.
- What is a lesson you've taken from your past work?
- What was your final grade in [xyz prerequisite class] that wasn't completed at the time you submitted your application?
- Do you have any questions?

*The interview format changed in 2009 to: one 45-minute interview with two people--one faculty member and one community nurse affiliated with one of UCSF's collaborating partners.
*The two trade off asking questions; presumably to ensure fairness across the different interviews, they move fairly formulaically through reading off pre-set questions.
*Note: each interviewer decides how much of your application to review before the interview, so you won't know how much they know ahead of time.
*The overall culture of the interview day is incredibly warm & supportive & affirming.
*Interviewees wore suits or business wear; interviewers I saw were dressed business casual with a little flare. I felt appropriately dressed in a suit.

All the best!
