Nursing at QUB/University of Ulster (Magee) Intake 2013

this might sound like a stupid question but when i went for my adult nursing interview at queens, they asked did i apply for any other branches for nursing, i said no but im thinking now is midwifery classed as a branch. mayb my interview was for the midwifery and the adult nursing because iv seen people say on here, its one interview for all branches?

They liked it because you had what they were looking for - every single uni has their own idea of what they want from a nurse. I've had rejections from some uni's but invites for an interview from another. They all read the exact same statement, its different strokes for different folks!

I know you are disappointed but suggesting queens didn't ask you for an interview on the basis that they'd so many applicants is a bit far-fetched. It's down to your grades and PS.

Nursing & midwifery are two different degrees, when they asked if you'd applied to more than one branch they were referring to adult, children's, MH & LD. Midwifery is separate

I went back over all my questions and added things, but I think I may have forgot to say about communication (so important) so I doubt il have passed interview

I totally agree with you in a way. But look at it in another way. Im in the same boat as some of these people. My application was sent almost six months ago. I had interviews for all my other choices and received offers for all so it was very disappointing when Queens just came back and rejected last week after so long a wait with the excuse that I didn't meet their criteria. Anyway good luck to you and everyone else that actually got interviews. Hope you all fulfill your dreams and actually get into Queens and its not the case that you'll have to apply for the next 3 years like a recent taxi man told me. If that's the case ill have my degree before some have even started.

No i got unsuccessful for mental health at magee but got on the reserve list. unsuccessful for my other two choices to, that was the adult nursing at magee and i applied for social work as a back up and got an interview but didnt want to do it anyway. So im depending now on my adult nursing at queens or midwifery but im not very hopeful after getting 3 unsuccessfuls. Thats not helpful at all for a reason, r u doin ur a levels or an access course? have u requested feed back? No midwifery was my first choice. Have u heard back from all ur choices?

u might still have got a high enough score to get in, its so hard to remember everything when ur in because of nerves. have u any offers to fall back on?

* just a general comment - queens have short listed people for interviews.... They check all applications.... This is why it's such a slow process with there being so many. I don't want to sound harsh or anything but if you didn't get an interview then there will be a valid reason for it... It could be something rely minute and simple that other university's don't care about but queens consider it more important. If you have other offers then well done your going to be a nurse in 3 year and if you haven't then spend this year wisely whether it be gaining experience volunteering of working somewhere which would benefit your chances next year or just spend time finding out what they want in ps and perfect your personal statement

This is the point I'm trying to make but I'm not getting very far.
