Oh sorry to hear that :frown:

i received a letter from Chester yesterday calling me for an interview next month. I don't think I'll do we'll apparently it's quite a large group discussion So hard to make yourself heard! Did they say why they didn't take you? Btw can you use a calculator for the maths?? And well done on your Salford offer heard the maths tests are horrible there so at least you've got one offer :smile:

Yes you can use a calcuator and the maths isnt difficult.The group discussion consisted of around 6 of us and was relaxed and friendly. I managed to say all the points I wanted but they said in feedback I needed to expand on those points more. Suprisingly I felt most confident about chester and least confident about salford lol.
UCLAN is the largest group discussion approx 25 people and yes salford maths is hard i just left out the ones I didnt know or guessed x

uhh great we can argue together haha :smile:

im sure we will be fine as long as we research the topic and say something clever a few times. I have one at Sheffield tomorrow but apparently its a group activity not a discussion. what branch are you doing adult,child or mental health?

I know bit of a misfortune that I had to be sick exactly on the day but anyhow what happens happens! Lol no I will hear the verdict on Friday but judging from the facial expression they gave me I don't think it looks good. Yeah I have 3 interviews now for sheffield,cumbria and chester just waiting for Leeds to come back. Don't worry about the unsuccessful's they don't know what they are missing :wink:

Ermm the usual really what attracts you to nursing? How would a human want to be treated? Tell me about the nmc code, mention a time where you have been the team leader. There were others as well but I can't remember to be fair I just want to forget that interview with them lol
