    You want to be a nurse and you have a username with 'killers' in it? :eek:

    That is really scary, hope you don't end up nursing anywhere near where I live.

    Re: mature students and nursing
    Hi

    I have an interview soon for the DipHe Mental Health Nursing Course starting in April 2012. Please can anyone advise me who has already been for an interview or has any information on how to prepare myself for the interview. I don't have a clue what discussions are going to take place and what the written assesment will be on. I have only been told there will be a group interview and a written assesment. I have prepared myself best i can but still nervous.

    Ive applied for mental health nursing but now confused and think should i have applied for adult nursing? I belive the 1st year is a foundation year, does that mean in the 2nd year I migh be allowed to switch to adult nursing if i don't enjoy mental health nursing?

    Please can anyone highlight what are the differences between both Adult & Mental Health Nursing and which one has the most career prospects for example finding employment.
