    Yes I seen you on it also lol Well have you started preparing for your midwifery interview? x

    Well I've started to gather information, but haven't started revising yet. I'm quite fortunate this time as I have over 7 weeks to prepare! Whereas I only had 1 week with the nursing interview. What about you? It really is a very tough process!! xx

    Hi my interview for adult nursing was last Tuesday and from my point of veiw it went very well. I wasn't nervous at all until I got into the room and it all just hit me.
    My advice to anyone who is nervous is don't be worrying weeks/days in advance, just make sure you are prepared because there's nothing worse than sitting in an interview trying to think of something to say and nothing comes. I had heard that the interviewers do make you feel very at ease but the two people I got couldn't have been any nicer.

    Good luck to those still waiting for it and best of luck to those like me waiting to hear

    Hello All,
    Had my interview a couple of days ago. 3 questions were fine, but 2 i found difficult (didnt see them coming), so think its an application next year for me!

    For all those with interviews coming up, please don't worry about the interviewers, they were fantastic, very friendly and made you feel very welcome. And from what I remember, they had 1600 applications for 600 places over sept/feb.

    Hiya, as far as I know if you get an offer some people request the Feb intake. Then depending on where u are on the reserve list. Those higher up may get onto September then next lot the Feb intake. Thats what I heard about previous years, hth xx

    You r unable to request which term you want to start. On the 2012 application form it did not give you a choice. It did in past years though x

    For those who have applied for Midwifery and nursing were you asked in the interview why you have applied for both?
