I'm applying to Glasgow Cally only. I don't want to move away. I'm applying to a dental nursing apprenticeship and a college course as well as backups and I'm terrified ������
Anyone else doing the same?



In applied to Cali edin Dundee and uhi- Everything but Cali is just for interview exoerience Hopefully. I applied two years ago and made the reserve list. I trained as a dental nurse in the in between period as its good to get experience and also gives you good grounding on caries perio basic terminology etc. I can't really remember what they asked last time though beyond the usual why would you choose the course and that sort of thing. I'm hoping having made reserve list first time without experience now that im a nurse I'll receive an offer

Also if it helps allay anyone's fears they interview in jan and feb and early March then offers come around easter. But I didn't get much notice of interview last time - about a week before. I think people will start receiving invites in next few weeks

Oh that's so cool to know. I really wanna
Go Cali. I love glasgow and Scotland itself. I faced the rejection last year and couldn't control myself and locked myself up in my room for a week. I just really wanted to go to Cali and do what I wanted to really do. Just like all of us in this forum. I hope I get better luck this year and hope you get your offer too! X

Ive also had the rejection before too. But I took comfort from being near the top of the reserve list so couldn't have been far off. I'm hoping now I have exoeriene as a nurse and have applied a couple times ( along with an amazing reference from my boss ) that I will get an offer this time. I'm checking track like a maniac a few times a day even though they email if there's any changes. Did you apply anywhere else ?
Hoping other interviews will be first so I can use them as experience for Cali x

That sound great. Well done for keeping yourself reluctant to get in after all these years. Ah same I want a few interviews before Cali, I lacked the experience which I complained and said well I'm a student not a DN so I won't have that many but in comparison of student experience I have three years worth of it! But I lacked speaking about it apparently.
I've applied to Dundee, Cali, Portsmouth, Cardiff , Liverpool and Queen Mary London
So I've a few placed but I want to go to Cali! {=
How about you?

Some people have heard from Teesside, but Glasgow and Edinburgh not so much.

It's highly unlikely you'll get an offer without interviewa first. They short list the best applicants, usually about 50 thrm from those that are interviewed they get conditional and unconditional offers or rejections.
