Hiya! I've just received a place at UWL and was just wondering if anyone has received a place to start September as well!

Hi,can you please tell me how long, after your selection day did you hear back from UWL?

Thank you x

Hi. I have a place to start childrens nursing this September 2019 at the reading branch. Can anyone tell me what their timetable has been like. I have 3 kids so just trying to plan ahead. Thank you

Hi, I went to Brentford campus (which is probably not much different). Depending on the ages of you children it can be quite difficult to juggle both university and family life, especially when placements kick in. If your kids are still young then you’ll probably need a good family network or a flexible childminder to cover your 2-3 days in uni per week, either, 0900-1300 or 1300-1700 and especially when you start placements and your expected to work the shift pattern of your unit e.g. 0800-1800,
07:45-20:15 or 1945-0815.
Placements is when things can get tricky. We were on placements 2-3 times for the year lasting 5-6 weeks - except our sign-off in the final year which was 12 weeks. As your a student there’s not usually much leeway in negotiating shifts (but that depends on your department), try to mention your circumstances to your mentor/supervisor when starting placement so you can organise childcare.
