Nursing at Queens...

hey, I havent received that letter about info day.......I have occ health next week so gona verify my results that day......got my access results....83%...happy happy happy....

Congratulations your result is fantastic!! I'm sure you're so proud!...well done! xxx

Does anyone know what way bursary works...or do queens provide us with the information...like how we apply for it???

Hopefully il get my letter about info day today 2, sounds really good. What date is the info day?

At least we will all be in the same boat by the sounds of it, I dont know anyone doing nursing either

I phoned up the bursery people the other day, they said that when we register with Queens offically then Queens let them know, and then the Bursery people send out the forms. They said it is usually around the 1st Sept and the first payment is usually November, though it is backdated. I was really annoyed and said what about the uniform that we have to buy and books, The first payment includes extra to cover this, but as you know we will have to have these things before that. So Im starting to save now as I know I will have a couple of uniforms to buy, books to get and about 6 weeks woth of train fares before I even get any money from the bursery people.

You could phone them just to double check, they may tell you different.

still no letter about info day for me yet either, glad im not the only one!

Hi there, im new to this forum, I received a conditional offer a few weeks ago for Learning Disability Nursing starting in Sep, just wondering if anyones doing the same course and starting then too ?

Try not to worry. I think they will just want to make sure that it would not affect your ability to work (ie if your hands get wet etc), what field of nursing have you applied for? I could be wrong but do nurses have to wear gloves most of the time when treating patients? If so then I dont think it would be a prob for you. They may ask you if it is mild or severe, maybe does it get worse with stress, does it weep or cause you pain, what creams / treatment you have had for it? My friend gets excema (SP?) on her hands and I know that these are some things that she deals with not sure if psorias is the same. It may be helpful to you to be prepared for questions about it as they will want to check your level of fitness to practise, that is what im going to do but for different reasons! Good luck

I get it on my elbow and hands sometimes too. It's not bad though, I've only had one prescription for it so I'm hoping they'll let me in. Very worried too though. It would be horrible to get this far and then not get in.
