People on the reserve list ?
If others got two offers eg midwifery and nursing - then there will be some places.

Has anybody got two offers ?????

I applied to childrens nursing. I already have my results. I have just finished my 2nd year in a business course here in Dublin, and am halfway through a pre nursing part time course. It's a pity it's such a long wait again, and I have been offered a chance to study abroad for the first semester of next year so was holding out to hear from queens. Hoping to hear back in the email and then consider my options!


Im on the same boat as you, I also have conditional offers for two other courses but I would really like to get into queens :smile: I hope they email us soon!

Hi to all of you who have offers for nursing, do you have or need a grade B in GCSE Maths? I've heard that you need it for midwifery was wondering do you need it for nursing too??
No not for nursing, I have a C in maths and my offer is on condition of my access, police check and occ health, they use the B in maths for midwifery to shortlist because of the very few places x

it's prob cus they have to process who have accepted their offers, anyone with offers have to confirm by 15th june, so if people turn them down reserves will get their offers. and again in august whoever doesnt meet the conditions of their offers more will go to the reserves, i know a few people who got on the reserve and were accepted so dont worry just yet it's great even gettin on the list stay positive :biggrin:

This seems completely ridiculous and unfair, I know that we could move up the reserve list if people don't accept in June, but they may as well let us know :frown: they should really put it in the letters they send out so at least we have an idea of how close we are! I had been banking on knowing my place to make a decision of whether to go away next year or not..

I got on the reserve list for Adult nursing but not accepting or sending documents back. Got an unconditional for adult at Magee but the one I really wanted, Midwifery got a conditional offer!!!:biggrin:

Hello all!

I have being reading some of the posts with interest the past few weeks! Congrats to everyone who has so far got a place and I really hope that the wait is kind to people on the reserve list!

I applied for Adult Nursing in Queens and got my letter today for a conditional offer for September. I have met the academic offer but will need to meet all other relevant criteria.

I am absolutely thrilled to get the offer as I really was'nt confident and was doubting myself the longer the wait went on as I did the interview early March. I am 34 so nervous starting all over again and its a relocation for me as well from the very South of Ireland so it will be all change!!! :redface:

I need to psych myself up to approach my employers now that I (hopefully) will be leaving come September! I start the search tomorrow for my BCG vaccinations- this could be a nightmare trying to trace them through the old health board!! Pre PC days!!

I just wanted to say hi and hopefully get to meet some of you come September! X
