    I had an interview at university of Birmingham and have a conditional offer!! They were really nice just try not to panic. You are interviewed by 2 people and just ask the normal questions... Why Birmingham? Why nursing?
    Good luck xx
    Thanks! How long were you in there for? Well done on your offer! Xxx

    I have an interview at the UEA on Thursday and an interview at Anglia Ruskin on Friday this week, anyone got interviews on these days too? Or already had them and can give me some tips? I am particularly worried about the English and Maths tests! :L xx
    Hi Samantha,

    How did you find UEA & Anglia Ruskin interviews went? They are both my top choices. Really nervous! What was their interview process like? For example, groups talks and tests.

    I hope my nerves don’t get the best of me. I truly enjoy caring and can’t wait to be an adult nurse

    i rang up the admissions team and they said to still atend the interview and explain when i get there. if I have the entry requirements and they think im suitable at interview I can do the degree. thank gawd for that, scared myself then lol!
    That's great news! Guess my advice woulda been bad to take so sorry for that.

    Interview was around 20 mins so wasn't that long.
    Good luck xxx

    Hi all,

    I am new to the student room! I was wondering if anyone has heard back from UEA, Brighton, Anglia & Ruskin & Northampton for Adult Nursing??? Getting a little inpatient and worried.

    I had an interview for Bournemouth this week which I believed went well. Any advice for the other 4 named above would be really appreciated
    Heya, I have a conditional offer at the UEA!! When did you apply there?

    The interviews at the UEA were really good I think. It was sort of like having a chat and they were so welcomming

    Hi everyone, just to let you know what to expect for the mental health nursing in bristol interview. i had mine yesterday.
    At first you go into the room and theres about 14 of you there, the lecturer does a little power point and they then spilt you into groups, just two groups.they then five you a case study for example: Robert has dementia and is refusing help, what would do?. And then in your groups you have to present it to the other group. you then have to wait and they call you in one by one to have your seperate interviews. They ask you 5 questions. i think it went ok!
    Is this for UWE? What questions did they ask you?

    hi

    how did ur southampton interview go? i got rejected
    lol
    congradulations on ur unconditional offer at Brighton
    i have y intevriew in Brighton, 3rd March, child nursing
    please could you give me some tips
    a bit unsure about the group discussion and individual interviews
    please tell me more about it and any dos and donts or any tips

    thanks

    ....i have no offers yet
    but going to city london interview at end of this month
    any ideas on that too?


    hope u got in to southampton

    ....They southampton one went really well, the group activity was nice. Everyone in my group took it in turns to make points and listen to each other which was good sorry to hear you got rejected... I'm still waiting to hear but they said around 2 weeks!

    You have absolutely nothing to worry about Brighton they were the nicest one I've been to for interview so far! The interview was more of an informal 'chat' they asked how i got to brighton and about my job as a dental nurse. They were also very encouraging with the questions and made me feel at ease!

    There was no group discussion for brighton just individual interviews and a short maths and english paper (which was the easiest i've had at a uni so far) lol.

    For tips... Make sure you dress smart, arrive early and bring ALL you photocopies and originals of documents as some people didn't and it didn't look too good. Smile at the interviewers and make conversation as they did chat to us before we were interviewed too but just casually asking where we were from etc.

    Chat to the other people there as it shows your confident and friendly/polite. Don't talk if the interviewers are (all common sense stuff)! ALSO... don't wear nail varnish or big earrings lol.. I know it sounds silly but just think of what nurses are allowed.

    Not sure for city london to be honest.. don't want to give potentially wrong info so maybe ask someone else who's already been interviewed?

    Good luck with your applications and really hope you get an offer!

    Whats your first choice?

    hi guys!!! I have a problem!!

    i applied o do children's nursing for 2012 intake, WELL after applying on the 24th of november, i finally hear back from sheffield hallam asking me to attend interview, but from their letter I've just found out I applied to study the advanced diploma instead of the degree at their university, i clicked the wrong button on ucas and didn't even check it! wooops, all others are ok, except this one.

    Not sure what i should do now? because i don't want to do the diploma, but I still like the look of sheffield hallam, so any suggestions on what to say to them? why am i such a muppet lol!
    Same thing happened to me , I applied to study adult nursing at Greenwich, I clicked on DipN instead of the BSC in nursing for May intake 2012
    I received a letter from them saying that I was unsuccessful but it mite be becos of the DipN I applied for which is phrasing out
    I can't wait to Spk to them on Monday to find out feed back of why I was unsuccessful
    It is my last option
