Doctor of Nursing Education Interview Instructions

As part of our application process you must complete a recorded online video interview. This interview will be conducted through an online service called HireVue. HireVue is being utilized by the College of Nursing through The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center (OSUWMC). While logos contain the OSUWMC brand, you are completing a recorded online video interview for a degree program at Ohio State’s College of Nursing.

Recorded online video interviews are reviewed by our faculty selection committees and provide the faculty reviewers a deeper understanding of your goals and background, as well as the skills, attributes and experiences that will allow you to be successful in our programs. 

Applications without a completed recorded online video interview by the application deadline are considered incomplete and will not move forward in the review process. It may take five to seven business days for interviews to be marked as “complete” on the application checklist.

 

Materials Needed

Treat this recorded online video interview as you would a face-to-face opportunity. You are encouraged to maintain a professional demeanor throughout the interview process. You will also need access to:

  • A computer or device equipped with a camera and microphone. For a list of supported devices, please visit HireVue’s website.
  • A quiet setting with a clear background.
