Lol Indeed.
Well I made my bed haha.
Honestly though all the guys who applied when I did last year, who would have been in my year all seem to love it , so that's a bonus I suppose.
Is it the same this year? As in wer,e interviews for Magee start of March and aiming for decisions end Of March/ start of April. With Queen's maybe not knowing until May/June?
How did you feel you got on at interviews? x

Yeah that's the same this year.....although some1 mentioned on here that Magee won't be letting us know until after Easter as they don't know available places yet!😕 they did tell us at interviews that it would be the 31st March so we don't really kno lol

I've heard it's much the same thank u, at least it's taking my mind off magee results not being out yet. I know I was shocked how it went I was buzzing for about a week! Then the doubts set in the more time u have to think

Yea I just heard that. It's a shame and believe me I know the waiting is tough. I felt a sense of relief when I knew that the interviews were over though.
I wonder why that was? I'm unsure of excat numbers from last year, though it was something like 2000 applied 700-800 were invited to interview with 200 ish places available. 175 adult and 50 ish mental health. Please don't quote me though, such a bad memory lol.

They sure do.
TBH I came out and just about managed to make it back to the car, burst into tears and cried the whole way home. I was sure I messed up and would not be offered a place.
And when I got the e-mail that my track had changed, I ran upstairs to brace my self for the bad news, and it turned out I was offered a conditional place :smile:

Yeah it's my first year applying. I've applied for both adult and mental health in Magee and queens and children's in queens....so 5 in total!lol I figured with it being so competitive I would give myself a better chance!😕 that's the hope anyway

Absolutely, though I do not envy you and your PS lol.
Making it apply to 4 branches couldn't have been easy. Hats off though you did it!!
What do you really want out all all your choices?
At first I was really swaying toward Children's as in the future I'dlove to work in NICU, however I didn't need to study Children's specifically for that. Either Paeds, Midwifery or Adult could lead to a job there. And the more I thought of the more I liked how diverse AN is. If I decide I wanted to dual train, I can do an 18 month conversion and be both Paeds ( any branch) and Adult trained. I'll never be stuck. I see AN as the foundation to all nursing, no matter what branch you decide every nurses foundation year will be general nursing based.
