Adult Nursing @ Hull 2013 - New starters

HI

As offers seem to be coming through now for this year, I thought it might be an idea for those who are actually starting this year to say hi and add a bit of info so we can get to know each other before we start.

I'm Sam i'm a mature student at 39 and excited but scared at completely starting a new career. I'm married with a 13 year old daughter, currently working in a supermarket and also a bank healthcare assistant in the community and a volunteer within the NHS. I'm at Hull Uni at the moment doing a level 4 health related course so i'm hoping it might make the transition a bit easier lol

Hi Sam and everyone who is starting this September 2013.

My name is Jenny and l am 44 years old, some say too old to do a degree at my age, but who cares! I am currently at Grimsby University Centre studying the Year Zero Hospital and Health Care for the Foundation Degree. I have an interview on 9th April at Hull to do the Adult Nursing. I would be interested in joining a " thread" for any newcomers to share tips, thoughts etc. :smile:

Hi my names Katie, and have a late interview for Adult Nursing on the 16th of July, i was just wondering about the day of the interview especially the questions they ask, and... IM SO SCARED! haha :smile:
Hi,

They're really nice and make you feel at ease, just why you want to become a nurse, have you ever been part of a team etc.. Its not a lot of questions they ask. Also the maths test is important to score at least half so practice conversions and mean mode etc

Good luck you will do fine :smile:
Thankyou Lottie! I shall tell you how it goes :smile: do you know how long it takes to find out if your in or not? Xx

No problem,

And they let me know approx five days after, but because you're a late interviewee you may find out the next day. Its pretty quick anyway Hull don't mess about. Let me know if you need anything else, happy to help :smile:
