Mental Health Nursing Applicants 2016!

OP

Sounds good - I'll be commuting more than likely as I do not want to move out from home - it'll be a lot cheaper in the long run!

Same here!

I might be applying for mental health nursing. My interest is in paediatric mental health and I'd be interested to go into HV afterwards so I'm unsure about MH or child....
Will be applying to LSBU, City, Greenwich and Kingston. Would love to apply to Kings but I don't have an science a levels!

Has anyone applied for next September yet and when did you reply and have you had any offers / Interviews? I've applied for both Leeds, Sheffield Hallam and Huddersfield for mental health nursing.

I don't live in Scotland either! Lol, I'm not sure how it works where you're from but here they won't fund 4 year courses, and some in Scotland are 4, so make sure you know!
No, I'm sending it off this week, but hopefully not too long because interviews will be a pain to travel too!!

I'm from England and the NHS can fund for all 4 years (although all mine are 3) but I'd get less money for the 4th one as it's less time but not that much of a problem to be honest. And ah good luck for your application then, all mine universities are considering it now and I'm constantly checking track ahaha oops.

Ahh I'm in channel isles, so nhs won't fund! Means Scotland is a bit of a strange one. Waiting for my referee is killing me! But I work for mind and the manager is doing it, which I'm hoping will look awesome!
Let me know how long unis take to get back to you? Would be good to know x

I know it's all about applications at the moment! But is anyone else applying with a mental illness? I don't know how common it is, but means I'm even more nervous! X

I think it's fairly common but most don't talk about it in their PS and leave it till the interview if asked (thats what i've heard/think anyway, not sure if it's 100% true though)

personally I'm in the final stages of recovery of mine and i think it takes one to have been through the whole experience to really understand it...only so much you can learn from a book or placement!
But best of luck with your application though :smile:

Yeah I decided not to talk about it in my ps, although I did say about having a parent with a mental illness.
Very true, why I want to do it! But sadly I know there's a level of stigma attached to illness even within health care, which makes it that bit more nerving I think.

Yeah, with occupational health at work my epilepsy has been far more difficult! Call remember which I added on my ucas, but from going to uni before they don't really take note of it anyway.

Has anyone had any Mental Health Nursing interviews / offers yet?

Thanks! :smile:

As I haven't heard from any of my choices and it has been 3 weeks since I applied I emailed all of my choices earlier to ask if they have received my application...

I've just received an email from Uni of Leeds stating they have received my application and will be inviting me to interview when they have arranged dates (likely to be the end of November)!

So it may be worth emailing each of your choices and just asking if they have received your application and when you can expect to receive a reply as it worked for me :smile:
