I felt it was awful! But it was my first interview so might be why:smile: they ask you about why nursing/mental health, what qualities can you bring, why keele, image of a nurse then few scenario based questions:smile:. Just take your time:smile:. I thought id get declined from there but after the interview I had laugh and a joke with them so just try and get your personality across:smile: if I get offered a place with not being able to put a proper sentence together through the interview, im sure you'll be fine:smile: haha xx

They told me takes up to two weeks to get back to you, then two weeks came - no reply, so I took it as 'maybe two working weeks' - still no reply, then day after the two working weeks was up - I got a reply haha!
I asked how long it takes for them to get back to people and a couple of questions about accommodation but thats it. My dads a teacher and very high up at his school so does a lot of the interviews and when I asked him he said he never does/heard of an interviewer who judges you on the questions you ask after so if you have no questions just reply with 'nope I think you answered everything earlier/online'. But if you do have a question - ask :smile: just make sure its not sumit they highlighted online or sumit. If its sumit you think they mentioned in the talk just say 'i think you mentioned a bit about this earlier...' Honestly dont worry - its such a relaxed interview, I enjoyed mine there so much ahah xx

Hahaa its fine, honestly:smile: I know how many unanswered questions I had so I just wana help people as best as I can:smile:.
If you dont drive, dont worry about it, aslong as got some other ID it should be okay, so like passport.
I know my friend applied for paramedics and they specify that they want a full driving licence and Edge Hill dont so should be okay :smile:. They'll understand that not everyone drives as im 20 in july so I have mine whereas some people may have just turned 17 in august so may not have passed test yet etc. Could always ring them to double check?:smile: but 99.99999% sure they wont hold it against you :smile: xx
