Hello there, I’m starting my first year studying MNurs adult and child nursing in a week so can help with the bursary question. The NHS learning fund is money from the NHS to help with your studies, it is not a loan so you will not need to pay it back, it is intended to ensure you can afford the study as healthcare courses require additional costs that other courses do not. That being said it is your money to spend, you will get £5k a year and it is paid in instalments. It’s useful to spend it buying any equipment you need and for accommodation. However another benefit that you can have is having some money reimbursed for any travel or accom you need for placement.

When you say equipment... could you tell me more about what equipment

Hi! I've just finished my first year studying children's nursing so hopefully can offer some advice. In regards to preparing to begin your course, I can only suggest taking time to relax and enjoy the time off, and try not to worry too much about it. I remember feeling very worried about starting my degree and wondered how I was going to manage the assignments and coursework. From experience all I can say is to manage your time appropriately, make the most of the material/content provided in lectures and utilise the study support available at university. Everyone is in the same boat so try not to worry too much, even though I know it can be daunting! Once you've started you will be able to see what needs doing and when it is due, it should help you manage your time! If you enjoy the course and are passionate about children's nursing, you'll enjoy the content and the placements, which will make the process more enjoyable and less overwhelming! You will have a wide range of placements and will learn so much, so be proactive, ask questions and don't be afraid to ask for support if you need it.

Best of luck with starting your nursing journey, I'm sure you'll love it!
I hope this has helped

Our equipments list consists of things such as fob watches and the usual pens and notebooks and folders. However, people also like to invest in a name badge (these are supplied but people get their own on Etsy especially for children’s nursing as they’re nicer), stethoscopes are not necessary as they are provided but some people like to get their own especially if they’re going into resp, as well as bp cuffs which are also provided but are useful to have your own if you’re thinking of working in a gp practise.
It also helps to purchase things like a good bag for placement, shoes and compression socks. Also many people purchase a customised fleece but that isn’t necessary just nice to have and show pride in being an nhs worker.

Is a fobwatch necessary? lookss abit odd xD

Hey since you finished ur 1st year, is it possible you can send me any practice questions or revison materials....anything which will make me have a headstart before i start
