I have an interview on the 17th too! Other candidates who had interviews last year, told me to look over the nursing code and keep up to date with the news :smile:

Hiya

interview was great - staff and students are friendly and helpful.
No interview at all to he honest. Two group tasks and two scenarios in which you've got to be a nurse to two different types of patients - I guess they want to see how personable you are etc

Hope they get back to you soon!! :biggrin:

Try not to be nervous , its not very intense, the staff and students are lovely, and make you feel very relaxed. The 1st part of the day was a group task, you'll be given a topic to discuss, i dont think they are marking your answers so much but more how you work within a team, listening, responding and contributing .... The individual task is role play, they given you a couple of scenarios ... Hope this is helpful.

That is very helpful. It's the Uni I really, really want to go to. I have had 2 interviews already and have already been offered another uni place, but it's Swansea I want to go to and don't want to mess up. I am doing an access course, and have achieved really good grades (so far) not that it has been easy, family, work etc.. but without sounding ungreatful, I just want to go to Swansea. I am re-locating back west and if I go to any other uni's it will be more than an hour commute. sorry for rattling on. Have you started there yet?? xx

I start in march , i live in cardiff and will be commuting. I drive but have been looking into public transport too to maybe save a little money. Perhaps a possible car share when I start too , who knows. I studied access to nursing to, I know excatly what your up against. 😊 fingers crossed for your interview x

Thank you!!!!

Theres not really any questions rachel... Just a group discussion, which was about dignity when I had my interview. With the individual tasks , your given two scenario's and you have to do role play, you being the nurse and someone acting as a patient.
