Awe thank you... I certainly hope so anyway.

I applied for Keele staffs and Derby. I am married with 2 children so my university pool is a bit smaller however we do have two good uni's in Staffordshire which is great

it was okay i think it was only me and one other girl :L they only have 15 spaces at brookes but it is such a lovely campus :smile:

I was asked how to show compassionate care and found it so hard to explain :smile:

it was a 40 min interview and keele is only 10 so it was good practice anyway :smile:

thanks for asking :smile:

I explained that there is a difference in important to and important for service users and its intelligent kindness at the end of the day it comes down how to people perceive the care they are receiving :smile:

I think there might be about 10 maybe :s-smilie:

the girl i was with at oxford had an interview at Manchester and she said there was abut 30 people!

have you been looking at maths and English tests to practice?

I'm sounds a good answer quite a difficult one to answer I'm really nervous for some of the questions Ahhh :smile:

And wow it varies a lot, I hope for group interviews they are small because of getting a chance to say something :smile:

I have been practicing maths so far not my english but I'm spending a night doing that soon so I'm up to scratch :smile:

what about you??

the education center at keele isnt huge so there cant be loads of people :s-smilie:

i haven't practiced anything just interview questions really but im quite good at maths so might just have a look at English, i know a few people at keele and apparently they are simple questions based on medication :smile:

I have been struggling to find current issues with mental health nursing though :frown:

And ive heard the car park at the hospital always has a Que to get in and out -.-

That is true :smile:

but I really struggle with maths so I need to get practising Ahh :smile:

I just wonder what type of questions will come up :/ on both maths and English

I'm struggling with issues too I mean there is a lot of stigma around mental health and the shortage of nurses etc. but issues I find difficult and don't quite know what to base it on.

I hope there will be places to park otherwise I'm screwed :frown:

I can feel settled and comfortable and more at ease instead of rushing in and stressing :smile:

I hope it won't be a problem, I mean they can't expect everyone to have a job or still be in contact with teachers or tutors :/. Such a stress and a worry sometimes :smile:
