Hi Amy,

I've also got an interview at Northumbria for mental health nursing. I've joined a group of Facebook that has been a God send for advice. It's just called 'mental health nursing' and it's the one with 30K members. If you ask for advice on there, you'll get loads of replies. When is your interview?

Hi! I did my interview in late November so if I can recall correctly what happened (mine was online) then all you need to do is read the nursing page and learn a few things to do with your course and how Northumbria stands out amongst the rest. Give some thought to scenario-based questions too, mine were on how I would deal with deadlines if unexpected circumstances arose, and try and get someone who knows you professionally (a teacher or boss etc) to give you their opinion on why they think you'd be a good MH nurse. As for what to wear I wore my school uniform but anything professional looking as if you were going for an interview is good.
