2013 Adult nursing interview at Canterbury Christ Church!

Had anybody got an interview at Canterbury Christ church for adult nursing? Is there a numeracy and literacy test and group interview or is it just one to one interview?

I had my interview at a selection day 2 weeks ago. Still waiting to hear back from them, apparently will know on 8 May. We had a literacy and numeracy assessment, a group discussion on a film clip we watched and then a 1-to-1 interview. The interview was quite laid back and more of an informal chat though.

I found the discussion and interview ok. I am shy and the type to sit back at say nothing.. But had to force myself out of my shell and was the first in our group to speak! The idea that I was against some other strong characters did concern me at the time! I've applied with CCCU, Greenwich, King's College and Surrey, been given offers at the latter three for Adult Nursing. What about you?

Hey,

(I'm new on here)

I had my interview on the 1st of December and am starting next month :smile:

The Maths and English tests at the interview are ok. They aren't a pass or fail test, just to see how you do i think. I'm not very good at Maths either so had to do a GCSE equivalency Maths test. Though i'd fail but surprisingly i passed!!

I've heard they support you well through you course with Maths and don't forget it's not the main part of the course.

:smile:

I received a conditional offer today to study Adult Nursing at CCCU in September 2013.

I was so surprised to receive it so early, as on the day of my interview (15th March) we was told that we wouldn't hear anything until 8th May. I'm over the moon because Canterbury is where I want to study :biggrin:

Hi everyone, Im going to be studying Adult Nursing in september at Canterbury :biggrin:

and I was just wondering if anyone is 100% sure on the finance we can recieve?
I know we can apply for £2324 Maintenance Loan and our NHS bursary, is anybody aware of any other information or where i can find out this information? Every link i click on does not seem to give me a correct answer. Thankyou!

Hey!

I've just recently finished my student finance and applying for the NHS bursary. when I was doing my student finance it said we're eligible for travel bursary too, which would come in handy as the placements at CCCU could be anywhere in the south east! (as i was told at the interview)
http://www.nhscareers.nhs.uk/explore-by-career/nursing/training-to-be-a-nurse/financial-support-for-pre-registration-nursing-students/ - this website is the best to see what finance we're going to receive, and then also look on student finance about the maintenance loan.

i'm getting so excited now, September cannot come quick enough :smile:

Hey!

You've applied already!? I read on a website that those applying for bursaries for Autumn 2013 won't be invited to the process until after this month...

To be honest, I have no idea about all this financial stuff! It's confusing me a lot and I'm just concerned about my revision right now! :frown:

I really can't wait to start either! Just want exams out of the way so I can enjoy my summer before starting :biggrin:
