Child Nursing Interview Help.

Can't believe no one helped you with this sooner!

Just for future reference with anyone reading this thread...
I've been asked questions like
- why child nursing?
- what do you think the difference in roles is between a hospital nurse and a community nurse?
- why this university?
- how do you cope with stress?
- if you have a 12-hour shift and an essay to write for tomorrow; what do you do?
- how would you persuade someone to a certain point of view?
- what aspects of this course do you like?
- how would you deal with living away from home?
- how would you deal with a parent who's unhappy with the service they've been provided?
- what characteristics make you a good nurse?
- what are your strengths and weaknesses?
- how would you react to a violent/aggressive patient/parent?
- where do you see yourself in 5-years time?

(these questions were from different uni's than the OP's, I just thought I should share)
Good luck to anyone with any upcoming interviews, I hope you all get the places you wish for

Hi, was just wondering how long it took keele to send you an offer? Xx

Hey, I had my interview here in January and it was by far the most relaxed and friendly interview that I had, the questions were relatively simple, just be prepared. There were several interviews going on at the same time with different people, I had 2 ladies, a nurse and a lecturer and they were absolutely lovely, the admissions talk in the morning is really helpful and they give you lots of tips for your interview. For a typical day I said I'd follow the patient's care plan, assisting with the needs of the patient, e.g. eating, hygeine etc. (research role of a nurse). As for a typical task, it could be taking bloods, checking blood pressure, helping feed the patient, monitoring the patient, google the role of the nurse etc and you should get loads to mold into your perfect answer! I got an offer about 5 days after the interview but they said I wouldn't hear until March! Good luck! xxx
