Keele Nursing Interview/Application Sept 2014t

Hi,

I have an interview for the Nursing Degree at Keele for September 2014 entry. My interview is in a weeks time and wondered if there is anyone out there also having an interview in November? Or if anyone has had one recently and could give me a few tips?

Thanks! :smile:

I have my interview then too! Might see you! :biggrin:

Same too, not too sure as to what will happen on the day. I'm glad I'm not the only one that's nervous. Good luck to you and hope fully see you there.

Hi,
How did your interviews go? I hope they went well. For the maths test did you use a calculator - I have an interview coming up with Keele?

Hiya guys. Looks like I had my interview with you on the same day. Did any of you get successful? Sadly I didn't, but I'm going to Chester now! Shame, because I really loved the campus, and actually enjoyed being with you guys (The Chester candidates kind of ignored me :frown:

Just practice your maths skills! Be chatty to other people and ask questions in the q&a session. Be yourself. Oh make sure that you take all of your qualification certificates as they need them before offering you a place! Had my interview in November and got offered a place so anything you want to ask go or it!:-)

is the maths tests hard? and is the interview normal questions like why do you want to be a nurse, and the qualities you have ect and is the Q&A the group activity?
sorry for so many questions haha

It's not hard maths but it's the simple maths that if you've left school a while you probably don't remember. It's the normal times, division and all that but then mainly focuses on decimals and moving them, converting percentages, fractions and ratios, and a lot of converting mg to g and ml to l etc. On most uni websites, especially Coventry they have sample tests so have a look what they're like:-)
Yes all of those normal questions as well as a lot of scenarios, no the group interview is a scenario and you just have to discuss it whilst people make notes. Make sure you make your voice hear but don't overpower or interrupt. Make relevant points and try to include legislations and things to sound smart.
The q&a is with other students but remember that you are always being assessed even when you're just sitting down so be chatty to everyone.

Don't worry I was the same when I had my interviews, just be yourself an good luck!

You're welcome, and yes just literally making sure you don't say that you would kill the patient! Just common sense so you'll be fine!
