Nursing at De Montfort Sep 2012

I've put conditional firm for children's nursing at dmu and am hoping to get waterway gardens for housing am I supposed to have anything for the crb check through yet?

Hii J.Nurses! I'm starting DMU in september 2012 to study Adult Nursing. We apply for accomidation on the 15th May, make sure you don't forget! However who's applying for the strictly nursing accomidation or the general accomidation (nearest to the health site is Newalk street, which also looks lovely, it's just across the road and nearer than waterway!) But I don't know what is more appealing or what others are doing?! What are others doing?

I'm doing adult nursing in sept. I was wondering, is there anyone who was considering NOT going into waterway gardens? Its just i really want an ensuite and would like to meet people on other courses too. I've heard about the shifts and stuff and the problem with parties, but i'm considering just getting earplugs tbh.

Anyone thinking the same or is it just me? :-)

Hi ive applied for child nursing and have been thinking the same as you. I really wanted an ensuite and loved Newarke Point when i when to look round but then alot of people have said about shifts etc but now i dont know which to apply for because i would love to integrate into the uni more with other people on different courses but having the security of being with people in the same situation as me would be great too :/

I know that's exactly the same dilemna as me, except I really liked Victoria Halls.There are people staying at home who won't get the security of being in the same situation, but I suppose that they won't have to cope with student parties until the early hours!! I really don't know what to do!! What do you think you will do?

hi everyone
my names Mandie and I have firmed my place at DMU for adult nursing sept 2012sooooooooooo excited and thought it would be nice to start a face book group for all DMU Nursing students who have chosen it as their firm choice so we could get to know each other.
if you would like to join its on face book as DMU nursing students 2012

Hi
I really liked the look of Newarke Point but i emailed DMU today about it all and they said its often difficult to extend contract lengths so i dont know what would happen if we were in different accomodationa nd our course didnt finish for another few weeks :/
Accomodation for me is a massive thing because i want to know i have somewhere really nice to go back to after a long shift or even just at the start of the year when its all new and weird.
I would go for Waterway gardens if it had ensuite but they seem pretty simple rooms and i wanted an ensuite but tbh i think its probably what i will end up deciding when i have to choose because i dont know how to get around the contract lengths :/

Well when I went to look round the halls, I went to Victoria Halls, they said it would be no problem extending contracts, they would just charge you a couple of extra weeks. It can't be that difficult can it? And I think that by the time everyone else goes home for the summer (and we have a couple of extra weeks) we'll be doing our exams i pressume so we wouldnt have been doing much socialising anyway! I'm the same, I'd really like an ensuite...

Oh i dont know what to do now :/ I'm probably gonna end up going for Waterway gardens just for the security of having other people in the same position though...

Yeah that is a good idea. I think I will end up doing the same, at least for the first year and then after then maybe I can move into a different halls if I dont like it haha!!

Haha i think i'm just gonna try find a really nice flat for 2nd/3rd year and people to share with

My room is booked, who else is in and what's your room refs? I'm WG-MT-12-1 xx

Heyy Im doing child nursing in september so i thought id join in is anyone not staying in waterway gardens? I rang up and changed mine to liberty park, and now seeing everyone saying there in waterway im panicing i made the wrong choice!!

Have you checked what length contracts are available for Liberty Park? The majority of student accommodation only have contracts for 42 weeks, which is too short for nursing and midwifery students.
