Child nursing at Cardiff uni

Congratulations! I'm a 1st year Adult nurse at Cardiff, I don't come on here often sorry. I'll try answering your questions -

1. Yeah - we do some skills (manual handling etc) outside of Heath Park nearer the city centre, its a bus ride (or walk) from Heath though and its not actually far. (The address is Eastgate House if you want to see)

2. So far, pretty much 4.5 days a week, the first theory block it was very busy but it has been quieter when we've had skills groups where you might have days off etc because your group isn't in.

3. I don't know about that one, Critical care placements are in year 2 + 3. I've looked on the placement profiles on the internal site and there is a Neonatal one updated Jan 2015 so it sounds like it'd be possible! You might get to do a neonatal as your POLO (elective) placement if you don't get it otherwise?

4. There are quite a number of roads nearby that you can park on for free, obviously they do fill up but there is also a cheapish car park at the Heath (called Heath Park). Its not a Hospital one. They are all pricey!

Hope that helps. I'm really enjoying the course so far. If you have any more questions, ask away!

No problem, apparently you can park in the Cardiff Royal Infirmary (its sort of opposite) for free(!)

No its not many days, just a few odd days for a couple of weeks. You might have a Personal Tutor who's office is there though, which means you'll probably have to go there to meet them (once or twice a term). Not many PTs are there though so don't worry about that.

I know alot of my cohort who drive, obviously you have to leave enough time but they are forgiving if there's been a big accident or something so alot of people are late.
