Hey Emma,

Thought I'd pop in and say hello :smile:

That's fab to hear you considering us for biomedical science. How's everything going? Have you started drafting your personal statement or come to an open day yet? If you have any questions just let me know, happy to answer them for you :h:

Both are great courses :smile:

Have you been or thought about coming to an open day to talk to the tutors and students that have experiences in those kinds of courses?

The Biomed course details are http://www.staffs.ac.uk/course/09C19000.jsp - if you have any questions about the UCAS tariff or entry requirements let me know :smile:

Will also let you know about nursing.

You might not have seen it but there is a 2016 nursing applicant thread in the Nursing and Midwifery forum which you might want to get involved in :smile:

It's a good way of sharing tips.

Great stuff - I think you'll find it really useful :smile:

All the child nursing info is here - this page is being updated so it won't be live all the time while it's being changed. It is live right now though

http://www.staffs.ac.uk/course/21B97100_B730.jsp

The entry requirements for nursing include GCSEs in English, Maths and Science C or above and UCAS points around 260. It's definitely worth checking out this guide.

Do you have any relevant work experience? :smile:

Hey there,

The Children's Nursing course is located at Shrewsbury Hospital. All our nursing/midwifery courses will either be at Shrewsbury or at our Stafford campus. :smile:

Is there any particular reason why you're worried about getting there - will you be commuting to uni every day? :h:

I've applied for adult nursing at the Shrewsbury campus. I have already completed a degree at Staffordshire University so hoping I get accepted second time round.

That's great to hear :smile:

Fingers crossed! I've seen you've made a thread for 2016 adult nursing - thanks for doing that. I've requested it be stickied at the top of the forum as it's a popular course so it will be useful for other people to find it :smile:
