    Thanks randombird! That's a relief!

    My surname begins with M so I guess I'll not hear for a while my first choice is mental health I don't see many people applying for this it looks like adult and children's is the most popular so fingers crossed! Good luck everyone!

    Hello everyone!

    I'm new here, I applied for adult nursing as my top choice and got my interview letter on Friday for the 29th of Feb and I'm stressing out! My last name begins with a C so I'm sure everyone after that will be hearing within the week! Best of luck to everyone who's applied
    I'm really dreading the interview though, It is scored which makes me think when they ask you a question there are only certain things they want to hear? But the biggest thing I really have no clue about is do you shake their hands when you first meet the interviewers? I've always thought of hand shaking as a mans thing but I don't want to make a bad first impression. What would you do on your interview?

    Pixiepeach I know what you mean, I wouldn't know what to do either I think you just need to use your instinct, try not too worry too much over the smaller details or you'll drive yourself round the bend!!

    Hannahcarson did you apply for mental health last year? Mental health is my 1st choice, still haven't heard anything yet :-(

    Oh man mental health does seem popular on here :/ does anyone have any experience? I think usually when your to shake hands the
    Interviewer puts their hand out when they first meet you so just look for that signal and if not I'd say a nice to meet you would suffice
    This waiting is pants!!

    Hi, has anyone received any interview letters this week or know of anyone who has received any? I was just wondering are they being sent out by branch as people who have their date seem to have picked adult or children as their 1st preference
