    Hello!

    I am going to be applying for the September 2013 intake.

    Was just wondering who else will be applying and what they think their chances are as I have heard that nursing is very competitive and tough to get into here in Northern Ireland.

    Thanks

    Re: Nursing at Queens...
    So does anyone know from previous years how long after results are verified do the reserved get called? A lady at the registry said prob 18th/19th which seems really close. So if someone does not show up on results day will their place be automatically allocated to someone else? I just thought it would take a week or two for them to sort everything out? Hopefully sooner rather than later :-/

    Hi everyone, I was wondering what we do for accomodation, I have an offer for Febuary, but I was talking to friends who have been in the Feb intake and it changed to the Sept intake, if we apply for Sept to the nursing halls does that mean we still have to pay the £300?
