Hey there, I have been offered a conditional place in mental helath nursing in queens and hopefully start in september. I recieved a letter asking me to attend a medical as I declared I had depression about a year ago. Its was quite severe depression but was caused by a reaction to a bad situation which I have now overcome. I can't explain how passionate I am about this particular branch of nursing and believe that it was my personal experience which edged me towards choosing it. Has anyone been in this situation or even think they may know how it will be handled and if I'll be deemed 'unfit' to carry out the course? I would be SO grateful for any advice etc

Hey, don't wanna get your hopes up, but I REALLY don't think there'll be a problem. As long as your depression is under control, and the fact it was 'situational' is in your favour. You may need a letter from your GP to briefly outline things. Good luck, and try not to worry. x

Did you see on local news last night about the plan to reduce the bursary?
Today is the final day for consultations.
I wonder when the final decision will be announced.

Hi Gemma,
I phoned up when we got the offer letters through and they said it is being reduced to £430 a month, and was going to consultation. I can't see them keeping it at the current level due to budget pressures.

Cheers

hey hannah finally nice to meet someone for mental health as well, ive put down about my depression to i dont think we should be to worried to be honest as you can say that at least you have a bit of empathy towards what others have been through and also use your past experiences to help others. have you a date set for your medical? i havent got one yet hope it will come soon as i am trying to work as much as i can up until uni for the money.

will you be living in halls or are you from belfast? im from banbridge so think i will still in halls and am learning to drive anyway hopefully get me test soon
