Hi there! It's really nice to actually find some child nurses around.. I feel like we're a dying breed compared to the hundreds of adult nurses at each uni :tongue: has anyone applied to KCL here? I've just firmed my choice and it would be good to speak to other students who are looking to go there :smile:
Hi guys. I'm a 3rd year nursing student so feel free to ask any questions.
Just some advice regarding maths tests! Practice, practice practice. Drug calculations, infusions rates, calculating fluid balances and fluid requirement are so so important in nursing. More so in childrens nursing as everything is based on the child's weight. therefore you have to on the ball with your numeracy. Mentors in practice will put you on the spot for calculating drugs! and there are numeracy tests every year where you have to get 80% to pass (they get harder each year)
Good luck to you all.
