When do u get ur results lilchatterbox2010? ours is 18th of june...dreading it!! Yea my oldest starts P.1 in sept an finishes at 2 everyday an my youngest, I dont know wats wud happen with her getting minded, I got an application form for the creche down at queens but there id a waiting list for it...x

thats the worst part we still haven't been told when our results come out! Im at BMC castlereagh and all the other colleges seem to be getting theirs around 15-18th june, the waiting is killing me and there are rumours that our results won't be available til the end of june....so hope i've scraped a pass! lol, yeah the waiting list is pretty bad for the queens creche plus It would be a pain in the bum for me to have to go drop my little one off there even when Im on placement nowhere near the uni! We have managed to find a day nursery that is reasonable enough luckily, do u need 60% or 65% from your course? xx

i dont know we will just have to phone nearer time and ask depends who you get when you contact them i suppose it makes more sense to do it once you have them in my opinion but sure who am I to tell them how they shud organise things lol

Pretty Girls 10, I would think carefully about your childcare - don't forget it will be hard enough on your little one to get them settled into creche without taking them out for 6 weeks here and there, then putting them back in. You might be better off getting care near your home. Also, childminders (as opposed to day nurseries or creches) can be more flexible, especially regarding early or late starts and finishes. Hope you don't mind the advice. Good luck.

hi does anyone know what the summer and winter holidays are like. I have been told from a very recent graduate that we will get the whole summer off! I emailed to confirm and this was the reply:

Sabrina

This is not totally correct as during the summer there is holidays but there are also exam weeks. Week beginning 25 July and 1 August 2011 are holidays, week 15, 22 and 29 August 2011 and week beginning 5 Sep 2010 are holidays. The weeks in between are for exams and re sits.

Hope this is clear

So it seems that we will have from the end of July to middle of September off, anyone else know abour Easter or Christmas, (I dont want to be seen as bothering them with emails all the time!)

Hi prettygirls10
I would love to be starting in september! but i'm only on the reserve list (children's), which seems to be huge. I'm too scared to find out my interview score, i think i would rather not know. At least that way i can have a little bit of hope!

hi, I've just finished the 1 yr full-time access course at BMC Castlereagh which was free, the course is available part-time either day or night and is spread over 2yrs but there is a fee for the part-time course. You should def go for it, I really enjoyed it! xx

hey, well we finally found out a results day, its looking like the 25th june though this isn't confirmed yet and could possibly be monday 28th instead, just seems so far away! Don't know why its taking so long! I need 60% overall from my course, I just have no idea how I've done at all! I mean I did pretty well with all the coursework but I thought the exams were tricky enough so who knows? fingers crossed I make the grade I need, I will be devastated if I lose my place in uni! Results day is getting close for you now...how do you think you've done? xxxxx

Kat33 I'm also on the reserve list for children's - Isn't it absolutely awful!!!!I know what u mean about not wanting u r interview mark...When she told me 20 I was gutted cos for some reason I thought I'd read somewhere that it was out of 40!!!!!Then when I read the comments here and seen it was out of 25 I thought "there I go again - always falling at the last hurdle".
Stuck in limbo is an awful place to be. R u waiting on results too??

Hi Kat33, I would say people on reserve hav a gud chance of a place, hopefully when results are out they dont keep people waiting to long to find out if they hav a place.
lilchatterbox2010 tht is a long enuf wait for ur results I think I wud go off my head, im sick waiting already lol I know its getting closer for our results, im nervous :frown:

I've done well in my assignments an the only exam im worried about is the biology, half the stuff on the paper we had'nt even learned so it was hard going!! But, wat will be will be, if its for us it wont pass us, I keep tellin myself tht to keep myself sane lol xx

Hi thanks for everyone's reply to my post. Can I just ask though was it free from the point of view that there where no fee's what so ever. or did you guys have to apply for funding which made it free?

hi! the fulltime (daytime course) is totally free no fees whatsoever! all i had to pay for were some revision guides which i bought through the college for about 15 pounds in total.You can still apply to student support though for funding to help you financially throughout the year if you need to xxxx

Hey pixiebo77
20's great - well done. As far as i know, 20 is the top mark for the reserves, cos 21 to 25 are the ones who got offers, so you stand a great chance. No, i'm not waiting on results - i've already got a first class degree in child and adolescent studies from a few years ago. i'm working full time with pre schoolers at the minute, as well as being a single mum to my 14 year old, so every day is very busy!!

Hi everyone have a read at this, bascially its a student nurse and student doctor argueing over a post someone put on asking what equipment they'd need for nursing, needless to say both students broke out into a full scale arguement with each other over what the person would need. Quite amusing but at the same time its quite interesting to hear from both professions. post back sure telling everyone else what you thought.

Hi see with regards to the reserve list what all do they take into account for example do they consider it on the course your doing?
