About your past
Tell me about a time you explained something hard to a classmate and it finally clicked for them.

You'll visit classrooms to hand out flyers about the CASH Center. How comfortable are you walking into a class and speaking briefly?
What they are checking: Whether they can represent the center confidently, since outreach brings in the students who need help.
How will you balance your own nursing coursework with this internship?
What they are checking: Whether they can manage a demanding program and a job without letting either one slip.
What would you do
A nursing student comes to you the night before an exam and wants you to just tell them the answers to a practice set. What do you do?
What they are checking: Whether they protect academic integrity while still helping the student learn under pressure.
How would you run a small group session when one student understands the material and two are lost?
What they are checking: Whether they can teach to different levels at once without losing anyone or boring anyone.
A student you tutor seems overwhelmed and mentions they might drop the program. How do you respond?
What they are checking: Whether they listen and point the student toward the right college support rather than trying to fix it alone.
A student asks you a question you can't answer. What do you do?
What they are checking: Whether they admit the gap and find the answer with them, since wrong health content can do real harm.
About the work
You'd be tutoring nursing and pharmacology. Which topics in those courses do you feel strongest in, and how did you master them?
What they are checking: Whether their own grasp of the content is solid enough to teach it correctly to classmates.
Explain how you would help a student who keeps mixing up drug classes in pharmacology.
What they are checking: Whether they have real study strategies, like grouping by mechanism, instead of just repeating the textbook.
The role includes keeping accurate records of tutoring sessions. Why do you think those records matter?
What they are checking: Whether they see records as how the CASH Center shows its value and tracks students, not busywork.
