Hey, yes I've firmed �� can't wait!!!

Really! Wow, i'm also going to firm UoB I know in the first year it's general nursing but in your second what do you want to do? My preferred choice is child. Also I'm struggling with the injections we need to take, I've had my first injection for the hepatitis course but I don't think all of them would be done on time, the others I've received when I was younger.

I'm not sure, I think adult but I'm really excited to experience child nursing because I'm quite torn- we're so lucky to get the chance to try different aspects in the first year :smile:

i haven't had any injections yet.. Did you get a letter saying which ones you need to have? Have you sorted your DBS yet?

Yep the letter comes through the post about the course and the injections you need to take...its a long process :frown:

I've made it my firm! And I should be getting a DBS package in a few days, then when that's come I'll sort it out.

What are you currently taking a-levels or BTEC??

Hi, I'm looking at doing nursing at uni next year, still doing my A levels currently and was just wondering if you don't mind my asking, what sort of grades/ points you had to get in, as I am worried I won't make the entry requirements :confused:

Heya, I think on the UoB website it says typical A level offers are ABB but I'm not sure on this, I had 54 credits at Level 3 and some other bits and bobs they required for Access Students- You could always email admissions and ask though.
Good luck with your A Levels

Hi, you need 280 ucas points and for the grades you need to check on the UOB website for nursing. Just make sure you do well in your a-levels and im sure you'll get in! :biggrin:

Hi, thank you both for your reply. I've looked and think the grades are ABB, hopefully a miracle will happen for me to get those grades! Ha! Good luck with your studies x

No I don't have an insurance offer- I have the grades already just need the DBS & health which Shoyld both be fine.. Do you have an insurance offer? Oh yes I'm sure you'll be perfectly fine then :smile:

I popped in today to hand in my DBS and ask about the jabs- turned out they hadn't put it in my welcome pack but have emailed it over now. OMG I have no idea where to start on this, looks like a right nightmare to find evidence of all these jabs!! Will all be worth it though I guess :biggrin:

Same I don't have an insurance offer to I need to get DDM which I'm already working at :smile:

DBS pack should be coming over in the post finger crossed-btw how long did your's come after you firmed UOB? Ugh those jabs, the first two you've already done as a child-just photocopy the evidence from your red book I guess. And the other course of injections-well I have my first jab for it need to go next month for another then 3 months after then another 6 months after to get my anti-bodies blood test. I need ask the uni, if they want the form with only 2 of my injections of the hepatitis because there is no way I can do the full course on time.

Hi! I also have an offer from UoB!! :smile:

have received my welcome pack with details for occupational health, however there was no DBS form, should this have been in the pack too? My pack arrived approximately 3 weeks ago, does this sound right?

Thanks!
