Many nursing school applicants have some form of experience in healthcare, either through high school courses, jobs, or through volunteer experience. The interviewer would like to know if you have any training (informal or on-the-job) or certifications that will benefit you in the program. Consider areas like CPR, first-aid, lifeguarding, phlebotomy, home health aide, certified nursing assistant, medical receptionist, etc.)

"In high school, I volunteered for the American Red Cross during my senior year. Through that organization, I obtained my CPR certificate and learned how to use the defibrillator. I think both of these gave me knowledge and skills that would benefit me in the nursing program."

"I have worked part-time as a receptionist at my local nursing home for the past year. While I didn't earn any special certifications in that role, I learned a lot about healthcare, medical terminology, and the roles that CNAs and nurses play in that setting. I think being exposed to healthcare in this way gave me skills and knowledge to help me be successful in this program."
