Hi
I have also received am offer from Nottingham for child nursing at the moment it is my top choice :smile:

The one thing I am struggling with is the accommodation I missed the open days so I'm not sure what they are like x

They are providing open days for people holding offers so it might be worth going to one of them. I can't really help you as I wont be living within the campus, I will be looking for alternative accommodation nearby.

I have been offered a place for the masters-adult nursing branch and have firmed the place. However I am really unsure on accommodation. With the masters the term time is the same as other uni students, is it worth going catered because I preferred the accommodation on campus but I am still worried because of placements?

I did wonder that too I don't really want to be paying for catered if I'm not there for some of it. I'm attending the UCAS visit day on the 15th so I'll be able to get more information then

Sorry like i said I'm not the best person to ask about the accommodation side of things. Prob worth speaking to current students on here. Look in the Nottingham forums

Did you get any advise or speak to anyone about your options for accommodation??

I applied for Adult Nursing at Nottingham, Southampton, Oxford Brookes, Bournemouth and Manchester Met.

Unsuccesful at Nottingham and Manchester Met. Withdrew from Southampton. Offer at Brookes and still waiting for Bournemouth after interview. 90% sure i'm going to firm Brookes though.

I applied for children's nursing at Bucks, west London and Hertfordshire.

I have been offered a place a my first choice which is Bucks and have to selection days to attend at herts and west london. However, I am going to cancel both selection days as I have no interest in those unis. Also my work place is linked to Bucks Uni in terms of one if Bucks hospital placements.

I did want to apply for the pgdip in children's nursing but Bucks do not offer it like some other unis so decided on the 3 years Bsc. So I would be going straight from a degree in education to a degree in nursing as I'm a final year student.

I need to read up on NHS bursaries as I'm clueless at the moment.

I have applied for adult nursing and have recieved offers from Nottingham, Bangor and Manchester. Was unsuccessful at Liverpool as I never did A level Biology, which I knew but needed another choice :yep:

Only problem is I can't decide whether I prefer Bangor or Manchester!!

Hmmm, whats the difference in terms of how each course is run. Bucks do 6 months Uni and 6 months placement. I know some unis do Uni and placement at the same time.
