Built by Zach Thorpe.

I’m Zach Thorpe, the founder of MockRN. I’ve been interviewed many times and conducted many interviews myself. Even with that experience, I’ve struggled to show my strongest work. I’ve missed opportunities because I couldn’t clearly explain what I’d done or the difference it made.

Practicing my answers out loud helped. I could hear where I was being vague, what I’d left out, and what needed a better explanation. I wanted to give other people a place to work through that before an interview, when there’s still time to try again.

I chose to build for nurses because their work means something to me personally. Through my own experiences with bedside nurses, I’ve seen the skill, care, and understanding they bring to people at their most vulnerable. After a long time working in big tech and struggling to connect my work to a positive impact on people’s lives, I wanted to use my skills to support people whose impact I’d experienced firsthand.

That’s why I built MockRN: to help nurses practice talking about their experience, explain the work they do, and feel more prepared for their next interview.
