Hi Africancowboy, aww im sure you will have done fine..we were all very nervous and they will account for that so stay hopeful! I felt it went ok and i answered the questions as best i could, its hard to judge it as there were so many good applicants i met from such a variety of backgrounds i think its just going to be pot luck at the end of the day. You were in right after me then, its a shame we didnt meet, could have united as adult nurses lol!

I feel quite relieved now that its all over, either way its out of our hands now and just have to be hopeful t hear good news in January! Did you go on the tour of the facilities?! I cant get over the location, i felt like i was at some private retreat lol.

I think it might be a little later than that.
When I spoke to them a while back they said they had February interviews as well. Not sure if this means you'll have to wait until they have all been held.

Might be worth digging up last year's thread to see when offers were made.

Anyway, good luck - gives me butterflies just thinking about it!

I'm glad you think yours went ok, not the same story with me then ha ha!! I've let my nerves settle in a way that actually affected my logical consistancy, and I ended up not being diverse enough with my answers as I wish I could- ahh nevermind. I will be quite pleased if they regret me as I feel I did mess up big time, not unless they were exploring something else that I may never have been aware of.
I went on the tour actually, the facilities look like they have never been used before! quite posh to be honest I thought. I liked the location a lot! away from noisy traffic and very leafy too- which is so me!! LOL!!! I found it so relaxing and very very appealing!! Good luck to you fella and fingers crossed for January to all of us who had interviews! Peace on earth and Merry Christmas,

yehhh received this email too interesting. I started getting excited when i saw it was off PCMD dammit lol
I received the mail as well, thought it was a very nice big rejection, only to find out out it's about the schools future, a message from the vice chancellor. I think it's good news actually, fingers crossed for everyone waiting for an offer. Peace!
