Nursing interviews for University!

Hi
I had my interview at Salford Friday; questions related health issues facing NHS ( respect and Dignity of older people/ infection control) then individual interview, dont think I did to good but will wait to hear
Got interview for Manchester Met and Chester any ideas what the questions will be like for there

Hello,

I had an interview at Northumbria on 13th Feb to study adult nursing. So I thought I would give some advice to those who need or want it. The university made me feel really welcome and it was a really relaxed environment. After a brief talk about the course and the university we were asked to watch a 2 minute video and then compete a 10 minute written test based on what we watched. The video was about a woman who had a bad experience whilst in hospital and we had to say what we would have done differently in order to improve the patients experience.
We were then split into groups of 5 and had a group interview. This again was really informal and we were asked about current issues, the role of a nurse, as well as a talk about the video we had just watched. Following this was a 5 minute individual interview and the only question they asked was 'why do you want to study adult nursing'
My only advice would be to try and stay calm and collected and try to relax and make sure you brush up on current issues in healthcare. Dress smart and ensure you let everyone have their say in the group interview and don't interrupt.

Good Luck!!!

Anyone recently had been to a selection day at southampton for child nursing ? ?

Has anyone had interview for adult nursing at the uni of manchester?? PLEASE HELP.. x

Have you had it yet? I had mine and got in. Hope it went ok if you've done it! xx

Had my interview at the University of Manchester and the questions they asked were:
1) Why Manchester?
2) What qualities do your have that makes you a good nurse?
3) How has you work/voluntary experience enhanced your communication skills?
4) A scenario based question.... A 5year old boy has come to hospital for an operation.. How would you deal with him??
5) What would you find hard to cope with academically?

Hope these help for those going for Manchester and Child Nursing.

Hi guys,

Really nervous as i have an interview at Surrey tomorrow for Adult Nursing and have no idea what they will ask... Anyone else interviewing tomorrow?

Heya, was it the Master course for Adult nursing at Leeds? I applied for that and couldnt get in Sep 11' because they cut the places and i didnt have my degree results then, and then applied for the Sep 12' intake but got a letter saying they've droped it . Was so upset but luckily ive got on the degree to start this Sep.

Hey, sorry for late reply, didn't get a notification about this. No it was the MSc Mental Health Nursing, but I think all the masters courses have been cancelled. Well disappointing after going to all that trouble to apply and get references to them. They could have at least offered us places on the undergraduate degrees instead! So where have you got a place? I applied to Salford and Mancs in December and Notts in Jan, but have still heard nothing! Well frustrating

Oh just realised you DID get a place on the degree programme! I keep thinking I should have applied for the undergraduate MH course but I didn't want to do another BSc as I've already got one. Oh well, hopefully I'll get an interview/place at one of the other unis. Just a waiting game now!

Hey,
Anyone going to BCU in April 2012 for BSc Adult Nursing? xxx

i got my interview tomorrow at manchester... was it hard?? did u have one to one interview as well?? i really hope i get in..x

Heya, I know its well frustrating, i'm having to have a working gap year because of them cancelling it! I didnt really want to do another undergraduate but dont have a choice now as Leeds was the only place that offered that special 3 year Masters with registration. My degree was in Zoology so i can't do a Masters in the nursing area without doing a undergrad degree to become registered first! What was your first degree in? Have you heard from any of your choices yet?
