    Nursing At Keele 2012
    Hi am new to this so I don't really know how this works. On Jan 10th I applied to do Adult Nursing at Keele. I have not yet heard anything and was wondering if anyone else has yet? I am really starting to get worried.

    I think Keele are being pretty slow compared to other universities. Some people are starting to get interviews etc. but it seems like it's happening too slowly :/.

    If it makes you feel any better, I applied for child nursing on the 14th november and all I've had is an acknowledgement so far .

    I spoke to my friends after this post and they think that it's being done alphabetically - not sure if that's true but it's our only explanation at the moment :/

    I have not even had an acknowledgement yet! I have read somewhere that someone rang them up on the 1ST Feb and they said they are still going through applications, so fingers crossed. It's still stressful waiting though cos I have only applied to Keele.

    Hey, I have have an offer for midwifery at Keele and know a few people with offers for nursing. I think they have done quite a few interview days in November December and January. And they are probably now working through applications for remaining interview dates. If this makes sense, so fingers crossed you will hear something soon xxx

    Not nursing but midwifery I hear they're herding most of the school of nursing and midwifery freshers to the 4 person flats at Barnes

    I assume most of the nursing academia is done over in the cec? Bit of a pain if you don't drive every morning, could be worse I suppose.

    That's great! I went on a visit day too and I was looking at accomodations. There was no accessible public transport in Barnes, so I was just wondering what people are going to do.

    I wont have much more then the bursary/loan/grant other then my pay-checks these next few months, im not sure if I can justify the insurance alone for uni, it would be great for community but I suppose otherwise its just 3 miles a day, having said that I would love to drive.

    Yup coming from college, 18 atm You?

    Sorry for hijing your thread nurses! x

    I do feel the same about the whole insurance thing, I've saved hard for the money and I'm not sure I want to spend it for a car I could live without but I know it would make it so much easier at times.

    I coming from college I'm 18 a week tomorrow woop :P

    Yea maybe we should make a Keele midwives thread xx
