adult nursing march 2015 intake

I had my interview at the same time as the September interviews last year because I applied for September but got put on the March start so I think they get them all done at the same time 😃 good luck to you all and don't worry about nerves cause I was a ball of nerves at my interview!

It was a multiple mini interview which is much better than a traditional interview of sitting in front of a few people asking you questions so in a room they had 5 tables set up with room dividers around them and each person is given a seat outside of each one and given two minutes and the information needed for the task which you have to complete and then you have 5 minutes on the other side of the divider with an interviewer to complete the task and as a timer goes off you swap stations I think we had 5 minutes in each station.

I had to tell the interviewer how to make an origami swan (testing communication), I had to do a simple maths test (testing whether you can do drug calculations) but don't worry they weren't hard, one station I had to watch a short video about dignity in care and then answer questions on how to maintain dignity in care. I had another station which questioned morals and doing the right thing which was from a case study; and finally the other one I can remember ids scenario of being in a plane crash and we had to pick 5 items out of 10 and then justify why we had picked them it was all a bit strange but it was testing out reasoning.

Sorry for such a long post but I know I would have liked to know a bit abut it before I went however it may change this year because I know last year when I was having my interview it was the first time they had tried doing it that way so depending on the feedback then they may have changed it, hope it helps!

Oh okay, I hope they let us know soon! I don't think they have said anything in a letter about our start date xx

Honestly I was really nervous about the maths but the questions were really easy, normally if you go onto the university's website then you can find practice questions but it was simple things such as:

A solution is made up 1:5 and there is 10ml of drug how much fluid is needed to make up the solution.

Of which the answer would be 50ml

Obviously that wasn't one of the questions but I couldn't remember any of them properly, I'm not the best at maths but I did alright on it.

If you have applied to other universities then they may have different questions for example UWE Bristol their questions were really difficult
