Nursing offers and interviews 2012

Original post by Skip_Snip

Adult branch :P That's still pretty competetive, it's like three applicants per place, but nothing like FIFTEEN PLACES IN TOTAL

I feel bad now, I hope I haven't made you overly worried :frown:

Tbh you've made me more eager to stand out and do my best on my interview.. So thanks.. :biggrin:

.. Nerves are natural but the problem is controlling them.. Lol.. I was thinking for applying for adult but child suits me best :smile:

Which Uni's have you applied to??

Ahh cool, make sure you're amaazziiingg and hook a place :biggrin:

I've applied to Bedford, DMU, Nottingham, Derby and Northampton :smile:

I've had my interviews for Bedford (it was in Luton) and DMU, and due to a pile of unfortunate bus circumstances I missed my Northampton one :frown:

which would have been my last choice anyway :wink:

I have interviews for Derby in February and Notts in March :biggrin:

How bout you?

Last year I was told at my Manchester interview in the December, that at that point (half way) they had over 50 applications per place. Southampton was similar.

I seem to remember that Manchester had 40 places, CCC and Brighton only had 20 places and there's about 80 of us at Southampton. (Child branch).

Don't worry, someone has to get in so why not you guys.

Good luck.

I may not be spoilt for choice unless I get offers from all :P my tutor says with my results, work experience and personal statement I should have a choice between at least two offers, but I still knock on wood :biggrin:

Child branch. Just rehearse your answers to standard questions and read up on current health issues. It won't sound rehearsed and you won't be left stumped for answers. Whilst the others talk, it'll give you time to get your thoughts together. It really isnt that bad. I thought it would be but was proved wrong. It's quite good fun. :smile:

Don't worry they must have considered you as a suitable candidate otherwise the Uni's wouldn't have called for an interview. :smile:

No trick questions. (apart from one uni which asked why they should take me over the other students) :smile:

Im Child branch at Southampton and love it. Find the Biology quite hard as I didn't do it at A level. First placement this month. :eek:

Hey

I've applied to Surrey, Southampton, Birmingham, Kings College London and Oxford Brookes for child nursing
I've had interviews at Surrey Southampton and Birmigham and have recieved offers from all 3. I've got an interview at King's tommorow but haven't heard anything from brookes.
Be calm and confident.
Why nursing? Why the chosen branch? think of examples of communication team work stressful situations, why have you applied to those particualr uni's hope this helps

Have you heard anything from Oxford Brookes yet? :smile:

Still no news :'(

I've applied for Child Nursing at UEA, Brighton, Canterbury, LSBU and Middlesex. I' sent my application off at the beginning of December and have had acknowledgements from all but Brighton, heard nothing else yet :frown:

. On the open day I asked the course director how many places they had and it was 16 for Child Nursing, I think UEA has 34, not sure of the others but LSBU and Middlesex have the most amount of places to offer I was told by my tutor.

I REALLY want to go to UEA or Brighton though!
