Just loads of practice to be honest, the fact you've done it once already will help, or was this your second time applying already? Unlucky in not getting in, but keep persisting and you'll get in, make sure you apply to places you know you've got a really goo chance of getting interviews from! I improved my VR from 440 to 720 so it can be done!

i didnt get banned (well i did for a week) i changed my name!!! im here!!!!

Heya I don't have his e-mail but I do have his Skype. I doubt you could get through to him via that though because he was last online three months ago

Lol haha, thought it was quite harsh actually! Nevermind, don't really care

No worries! Well, I am working full time so that explains the hours! Your shifts are heavenly

It depends on what shift I do. I work in the elderly care unit so this is probably the most labour intensive ward that you'll work in. Dermatology is probably a lot easier

When I do an early shift (7.30-3.30):
In the morning, there is a handover in which we are given information about all the parents followed by a mini briefing in which we discuss daily objectives and special patients if necessary. Following that, we start giving the patients a wash and get them cleaned up for breakfast. We never finish all the patients though so we start washing the rest after breakfast until it's over. By this time, it's nearly 12 (or on horrible days, nearly 1) and we take blood pressures of those who need it as well as measure the blood sugar levels of the diabetic. Then lunch is served and we feed those who need help and then just finish off some paperwork.

When I do a late shift (12.30-8.30):
This starts just before lunch time so co-incides with the early shift. Once again, you do blood pressures as required. Each patient has their own frequency so some need their blood pressures taken often (as little as every 15 minute for some) whilst some can manage with just once a day (rare). Blood sugars of the diabetics are taken as well before dinner and once again feeding. Then, you just check the patients to see if they need changing (if they've urinated or opened their bowels) and change as necessary. You also need to take patients to the toilet if they can go and need some help. This is for both shifts. Once you do that, some paperwork and then you go.

Hi! it was 4.6 4.3 3A (not brilliant to say the least haha!) Good luck with your application!
