UCLAN Nursing September 2015

So are you going to UCLAN in September too?
And going to be living in?
I think I've pretty much made my mind up now ahhh!

Yes I am
I already live in preston so wont be living in per say

Ah right sounds good

I'm currently studying Mental Health Nursing at UCLan, I'm second year now. I have lived in uni accommodation for both years now, and have managed to keep my car at the same time - but I work a part time job at the weekends - so that helps pay for my car. If you have a part time job on the side - you can still manage it. I also can give rough estimates on term dates and holidays etc. Mental Health dates for the 2nd year is different to adult and childrens nursing though, so wont be relevant to you guys I'm afraid. Let me know if you have any questions or anything

Hello

I have had an offer for adult nursing which I was so happy with!!! Then my husband has just landed a contract in Scotland for two years!! Totally stuck now what to do!! Not sure I will manage without the help with two children!!!!! Nightmare !!

Hi, I m going to be doing mental health and was just wondering what the holidays are for 2nd and 3rd year? Also what part time work do you do if you dont mind me asking?

Oooh congratulations! This year we went to uni for 2 weeks, then went straight into placement. Placement finished 2nd week in december, we had a week back at uni, then 2 weeks off over christmas. Went back to uni in Jan had all our exams and assignments etc, then had 2 weeks off just now at the beginning of march. I'm now currently on placement until May. then I have a week off (holiday time oh yeah !!!) And we are then back at uni until Late june/early july. Very odd holidays. All other courses are never off when you are, which is quite a pain, but hey ho.

Third year, we have 2 weeks off last week in November and beginning of December. Meaning we're on placement over Christmas, which is also a bloody pain!! But we get Christmas Day and New year's Day off as 'Bank Holidays' so won't have to go into placement for them, which is good. We then have 3 weeks off at the beginning of March. £ weeks off on the second week of May. So Basically all of May off. And then Finish around end of June/July ish.

I also work at B&M Bargains at the weekends back home near blackpool so I travel home every weekend, too

Thank you just hope I get a place i hope soon

The NHS bursary would cover childcare for you and UCLAN has a pre school centre so you could manage if thats what you really wanted

That is very strange holidays but time off is time off i guess

Thankyou for your reply im worried about the placement weeks rather than anything else. I could manage by uni childcare, just worried about nights, early's etc. Really want to accept but then worried I will become stuck!!
