Nursing 2017 Applicants

Hi everyone!

I thought we should have a thread for 2017 entry applicants. Applications are open and I for one am worrying already, so might be nice to have a support group!

If any current student nurses have advice or information on how they are finding the course it would be much appreciated ! :smile:

Rated uni in Wales for nursing! Swansea is really good too :smile: my aunt sometimes lectures in mental health nursing and she said they value students who come from those unis! :smile: check out league tables too I've found those helpful :smile:

Are these for September 2017 intakes ? I didn't think they interviewed until after closing dates of UCAS
Yes September 2017.
I heard from Cardiff real quick.
But no reply from USW as yet. I have no recent study so I think I was an easy no for Cardiff. I have the requirements for entry but I completed my hnc's and first year of the child health degree 10 years ago..... some universities are strict on this recent study requirement. USW where less concerned on the open day but still not massively hopeful.

I've applied for Mental Health Nursing at Stirling, Dundee and UWS Hamilton.

I'm a bit older and have a previous degree in business but have been working as a band 2 on a ward for 2 years and love it.

Would be good to meet other Scottish nurse types :smile:

Hi I had my interview on Wednesday for Chester and heard back Friday for a place! If I could give you advice it would be to apply as soon as possible. I left it until late last year and didn't get interviewed until January by then they was very little places 😫 Am applying for adult what about you?
