Posted from TSR Mobile

I applied the day before closing to northumbria for learning disability nursing and adult nursing, still had no word and starting to worry slightly,
Can any1 shed light on what interviews consist of etc, im a mature student at 32 and haven't had much uni experience ������

Hi i'm 32 too! I applied to adult nursing in October and got an offer in January to start in September Here is an a brief overview of the interview day:

we were given a presentation about the course and university, this was very informative and you get the chance to ask questions as well, then we were shown a video clip and given the written exercise of writing about the issues raised in the clip, this is not a trick and you dont have to know anything technical about nursing! they are basically looking for you to have the right attitude towards patients, show empathy and advocate patient centrered care. they are mostly marked on the basis of whether you can string a sentence together (and you get to see the exact mark scheme) its all very transparent and well organised.
after a short break you are split into groups and most of the interview is done with that group, they ask questions for you to discuss as a group- make sure you feed off what the other candidates are saying, but make sure you are polite and not talking over people - pretty basic stuff really. the questions again arent really hard or technical, and you are expected again to show your compassion, empathy and passion for people.
then you get a few minutes as an individual thats it - just one question to answer on your own.
in short, just know why you want to go into adult nursing and show an understanding of patient centred care and let your passion shine through. good luck!

Hi I have been invited to interviews at both Teesside and Northumbria for child nursing on the same day, at the same time! I have contacted both and been told that it is the last day for interviews! I really don't know what to do, as Teesside is my preferred university due to locality as I have a child and cannot move therefore it is more convenient travel wise, but I have had an interview there previously and found the process to be quite harsh. I am also worried as i really want to start this year but people on here are being offered places for September NEXT year....does this mean there are no places available for this year now? From what I've read the whole process at Northumbria is much kinder and I feel like I stand a better chance of being offered a place there but i feel like whatever decision I make I'm going to regret it! Does anyone know how many places are available at Northumbria?!! HELP!!!!!

That's great thank you letting me know, I wasn't sure what to expect etc, iv just recieved an email for my interview daye of the 27/3 im so excited! X

I recieved an interview date today for northumbria for the 27/3

Congratulations guys!!!
I guess i'll have to wait a fair bit longer to find out who'll be joining me in September!!! (Although hopefully it will be fairly soon after this last date!)
I don't envy you people still waiting, it is such a long process it certainly tests your patience!

It is I feel like ppl are playing God with my life right now x

I'm in! Northumbria in September... cannot believe it, so happy! 😆
