Mental Health Nursing

Hey! Anyone else here waiting to hear back about their MH nursing interview?

I'm SO nervous, I went to the May 10th selection day and it was really laid back and the staff were really lovely, but my anxiety kind of made me a bit awkward and I didn't feel particularly confident. I kind of babbled a bit and found it hard to stay focused because my nerves were literally making my head aaaaall over the place haha. Ooooops. I felt like it went quite well at the time, but then as time has passed, all I can think about now is all the little mistakes and the anxiety.

How long did it take you to hear back? A current student said she heard back within a couple of days but they say ten days average so I'm not expecting to hear for a while, but I did my undergrad degree at Soton already (I'm applying for the PGDip) and it's the only real course within the area I can travel to as I don't drive, so I'm kind of hanging all my hopes on this ONE interview aghh.

I was actually surprised I found some of the maths harder than I thought, I mean I could do it all, I just found it hard to do it within the time. I didn't really practice beforehand because I heard it would just be basic but it has been a while since I did mental arithmetic (I sound super old, I'm actually 23!) so I was super slow at working out the answers!
