Undergraduate Nursing Students Participating in Admissions Interviews – An Innovation? An Exploratory Study
2018
In our university, Pre-registration Nursing
students sit as panel members in
undergraduate nursing admission interviews. The literature suggests this practice is not
widespread in UK universities or
internationally. We aim to evaluate the
involvement of current students in admission
interviews from student, graduate and NHS
staff perspectives. We report findings from a
survey of all Year 1 Nursing undergraduates
who recently attended an admission interview
at our university. A majority reported having a
student present at interviews was helpful,
particularly in alleviating nervousness. This
finding may be useful for undergraduate
recruitment and selection in other healthcare
programmes in the future.
