Adult Nursing - September 2015

Hi,
I have applied for adult nursing at Staffordshire, but I just got rejected because my “personal statement was inadequate”. so I rang the university to ask why they came to this decision and I was informed that I haven’t shown enough proof of work experience as I have not stated in my personal statement the name of the places where I carried out my work experience. I have only stated that I worked in a residential home for mental health and a gastroenterology ward.
I am just wondering if anybody has had the same experience, or does anybody know if you have to state exactly where you carried out your work experience. I do not know if this is only for Staffordshire. I am now waiting for my other choices to come through. Fingers crossed I hope I get an offer in at least one of my choices.
Thanks :smile:

Hi

I have also applied for Staffs.... are you talking about that you got a rejection from staffs for an application you have made for sept 2015 intake? Sorry to hear you were rejected and fingers crossed for you for your other choices.

I have got a interview date for staffs uni but awaiting the other choices at the moment and hoping no news is good news as they say.

I did state where I do my voluntary work at the moment if this helps you with the above question.

I have applied to four more ... Not far from home as I don't want to go too far. :smile:
im so sorry to hear you got rejected...think I best go back through my personal statement again as im abut to submit to UCAS tomorrow whilst in college.
I'm sorry to hear that, I received a rejection from Leeds Beckett today. We are both in the same position and the best we can both do is be patient :smile: Have you asked the uni why you have got rejected. Good luck i'm sure you will be fine :smile:

@Nadzworldz...I rang the university and I asked them why I got rejected. They said it was because I did not include the name of the institutions where I worked. The only reason I did not state the exact name of the institutions was because I was running out of characters. So I only stated that I have worked in a gastreonology ward and a residential home for mental health. So I asked the university if I could send proof but they said no. However, I got an interview from Edgehill on the 15th of December. They were not fussed about the proof of work experience. I hope you will get more offers but don't worry I have been waiting for a long time before Edgehill got back to me. Fingers crossed for you...I hope you will get an offer soon :smile: @Katiecake4 I would suggest you at least include the name of the institutions where you have gained work experience just in case you encounter the same experience.hope that helps :smile:

Well done always good when u come out feeling positive. Fingers crossed you find out soon.

I had a interview invite from Derby uni but have had to decline realistically it's too far for me and I have to be practical about it with children and a husband to think of too (that and staffs have offered me a place so it's a no brainer as it's closer to my home) Keele I am still waiting to hear from its been 11 seeks this week since I put my application in.
