Nursing Applicants 2024

Hello everyone ! I’m a 22 year old mature student.

My application was just sent this week and I’ve already got an interview for one University which is Surrey.

I applied for Mental health nursing and child nursing dual course in the University of Southampton and Plymouth as i spoke to admissions and they were very helpful and patient with my questions.

As a single course I applied for University of Surrey, Portsmouth and UWE Bristol to study Mental Health Nursing.

I’m currently studying an Access to HE course aiming for 33 distinctions and 12 merits. I also have in addition AS equivalent qualifications that total up to 179 ucas points combined overall.

Outside of my studies, I have had jobs in retail, childcare and in the NHS.

Good luck to everyone!

Have you had any interviews yet? If so how did the go? x

I’ve gotten interviews for all my choices but they’re all on the same day which is tomorrow!!

Preparing for them is crazy because I’ve only got one idea of what the questions will be based on which is for uwe bristol, the rest I’m completely blanked about.

Fingers crossed I pass at least one interview haha.

Hi there good luck to everyone! My daughter (18l) applied to do Mental Health Nursing Nottingham, Northampton and Derby and Dual Registered with Leadership Masters for both Adult Nursing with Mental Health and Child Nursing with Mental Health at Leicester. She had an offer for both courses after her interview at Leicester, also received offers from Nottingham and Northampton so withdrew from Derby. She's firmed Leicester for Child and Mental Health and secured Nottingham. Just need to work hard for the grades now for September 2024 start.

If you're applying to uni for a Nursing course for 2024 entry, introduce yourself to fellow applicants, ask questions and share your experience of applying so far:


What universities are you thinking of?
What nursing course?
A level / BTEC / IB / Higher predicted grades
Extra curriculars


Please don't share details of interview questions on the forum - it gives those who follow you an unfair advantage.


@CamembertPaws FYI

Applied to City and KCL for Child Nursing. I will be 19 at the time of starting after taking a gap year. I have not been interviewed for these two yet, they are coming up in February. I would love to meet anyone else who may have applied for the same uni's. I'm very excited!!

Hello. I applied for Hull, and Sheffield Allam universities. I'm 33 and finishing my access course this May. I went to Hull University interview yesterday, so hopefully i have a place in Hull. My interview for Sheffield is the beginning of February fingers crossed i get accepted for either universities ! Looking at joining the Learning Disability nurse year 1 this September.

Good luck to each of you!!

How did they go? Have you had any offers yet x

I’ve heard back from 4/5 universities, I got an offer from uwe Bristol and Surrey but rejected from Southampton ☹️ just waiting back for one more uni and then I will decide on my firm and insurance!

How’s everything for you?

I haven't been offered an interview yet!
I've got distinctions in all my units so far except my biology ones which I have merits. So I have 21 credits at distinctions already, but merits in biology.
I will just sit tight and wait and keep my fingers crossed. I still have 6 more units to go anyway to keep me busy

To be honest, (from my experience and that of my twins; we've both applied for 2024 entry) it is all different. I was first offered an interview in December from choice no.2 (no.1 had given me an offer, although it's a history course), but I've only just been offered an interview from Swansea despite my application being sent off at the beginning of December. My sister has only been given three interviews and hasn't heard anything from the other two choices, other than 'we have received your application' emails. They may have a lot to go through, especially if they've given you a "we aim to respond by" message, but that may just mean that they have a lot of applicants (so therefore just show in your interview why you're the best). Even if you don't get an interview (which hopefully you will 🙂 ), you may still be able to ask them for feedback. Distinctions in all units is really good regardless so you should be proud of yourself.

Hi! I’m an 18 year old BTEC student.
I’ve also applied to City along with Middlesex, Kingston and LSBU for Children’s Nursing. I have received offers from MDX, Kingston and LSBU and will be attending a selection day in February at City.

Got my interview for Worcester in March. I am strangely confident but researching the 6 C's and NHS constitution. I was a health care worker for 7 years before my job in cyber security and believe in Person-centered planning anyway. From what my friend on the course said the interview consists of 4 questions.

Why do you want to be a nurse?
Who inspires you?
The importance of the 6 C's
Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

Good luck everyone!

Oh that's so great! I've booked the selection day for the 6th Feb, wbu?

Are you applying for Worcester? I had my interview there in November. Yeah, they asked why i wanted to be a nurse, why adult nurse, tel me about yourself, what do you understand about 6C, 4P, example how you applied 6C from current or previous job. They give offer quite quick. I got offer straight after the interview. I’m starting next March.
