All Master of Science in Nursing Interview Instructions

These instructions are intended for applicants to the Graduate Entry, Traditional Master's or Post Master's program options. 

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 an 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 application checklist.
