sept 2010 nursie here, I'm out on placement 5 at the minute and still loving every minute!
All the very best with interviews guys, it's a stressful time but try to keep calm...you will be asked 5 questions by a panel of 2, these questions will then be scored out of a total of 25 with those scoring the highest being made conditional offers around may time. Fingers crossed for each and every one of you best of luck!! :smile:

hey, was just wondering if anyone could answer or have any idea on my query :/

i have got an interview on wed! but my maths grade was a C. will people with a higher grade have priority. or was that only for shortlisting for interview? cos as far as i am aware the interview is 5 questions and marked out of 25, surely 5 marks per question? worried :frown:

alsoo see when the interviewers ask you at the end, 'have you any questions' does it look bad to answer no...

xox :smile:

hi im all new to this but i see everybody seems scared about not getting interview letters...i applied to do adult nursing and my surname begins with D i got my letter around the 17th of february....but do not worry because other people in my class are still getting letters and there interviews are for april time so theres still plenty of time..i also heard that rejection letters where started to be sent at the start of last week so i guess if you havent got a rejection letter by now then you just have to wait patiently on your date for your interview. mines is tomorrow 2nd march im sooo nervous there seems to be so many people applied.

AGH Hello you!!!!!! :biggrin:

Tyronenew, I am replying to you I guess because you are another potential mature student like myself. I got my rejection letter today and am gutted to tell you the truth. The reason being I hadn't done anything academic to the appropriate level in the last 10 years. What's really annoying is that I completed a college course 11.5 years ago way above the level required but that extra year and a half is too much time apparantly. And I have done numerous courses in between. It blows my mind that some 17 year old with absolutely no life experience is considered a better candidate than someone like me with years of experience in a voluntary ambulance association all because I haven't studied to a certain level in 11.5 years. Anyway, just venting really. I'm not having a go at any school leaver who has gotten an interview - congrats to all who have - it's just I am genuinely baffled by the entry criteria. I am considering appealing. Do you think there is any point? Anyway, Tyronenew, I hope your news is better than mine. I am keeping everything crossed for you........

Everyone, thanks for your kind replies - much appreciated. And I am not giving up! I contacted Queen's and I think once I get either an A level or do the Leaving Certificate in a science subject, I should be OK. If I have to wait one more year I will.

I have not heard anything but I am sure I will get a 'copy and pasted' copy of your letter.

I really did not think that they would have used that as a reason to turn down an application, as it suggests, that as you achieved a certain academic standard a number of years ago that over the years you have some how lost the ability to learn. I must admit it strikes me as a form of ageism. The criteria does not state that requirements for applicants must be gained within a certain period, and if this is the selection criteria then it should have been clear at application stage. It would appear to me that Maths is a key qualification of which I have an A at both O level (that shows my age!) and A level. Are they seriously suggesting that because it was a while ago that I have lost the ability to count or indeed find 'X'?? Even though I have been responsible for multi million pound budgets for a number of years. I will await my rejection letter with interest.
