Yea the guys I all went to college with to do the access all went on to adult nursing and met loads of people before they actually started in September so I hoping same will happen for us. I suprised you didn't want Canterbury campus then? Are you hoping to be based in ashford hospital as be close to home for you

Yes there was a few from my access course that have started adult nursing and a few doing midwifery.

I just preferred the Medway campus and the fact you can park there 😀 I'm hoping I get Margate for my base ward but will travel I wouldn't mind Gillingham hospital as their Pediatric unit is lovely. Margate would be ideal though for me as kids at school and it's closer to home.

I haven't applied for bursary yet have you?
