vet nursing

9th Jan 😔
That's what the Middlesex online chat rep guy said 😭😭 it's such a stupid way of doing things

Ugh thats annoying but only a couple of days after me, i'm only waiting for them now! Does anybody know who applied earlier how quick they responded?

I applied mid October and they got back to me around 2 and a half to 3 weeks later with an interview and a week after the interview with their decision x

Hi
I've applied for Harper Adams, Hartpury, Myerscough and Nottingham Trent. So far I have had interview invites from all but Harper, so I was just wondering how soon Harper got back to people.

Has anyone had an interview at Myerscough or been to the college and have any tips or advice they can give me? I've never even been to the college as it was a last minute choice so I don't really know what to expect from the place.

Well done to everyone who have had offers and interviews!

I sent my form back two days after receiving email in December but still waiting to hear too although it's for vet physio course.

Hi everyone hope you are all well

I have done three of my interviews and thought I would give you a little run down to help with any nerves.
My first was at Middlesex, this was really relaxed. There were only five of us and we went on a campus tour and had a little talk about the course. Then we had to do a writing task. I won't say what they were but the questions were a little odd. It is ok though because you have as much time as you need and lots of space to write and I think you can ask for paper if you want to make a plan so read the question a few times and think about what you want to say. Then they should get back to you in a couple weeks (I got an offer today (: )

Next was RVC, I think I found this the strangest and was hardest to judge how I did. There were a lot more of us but my group did the stations first. There are 6 each looking at something different and you have 5 mins at each. I didn't think this was a lot of time and the things we were asked to do were things I felt like you would be taught to do at uni. Anyway ... Then there was the group discussion however I don't think my group did it well and the observer seemed a bit off, that is just my opinion. They will not get back to you until end of March!

Last was Harper Adams, this was probably the most technical and so far my only One-on-One. Again we went on a campus tour and then had the interviews. They will ask you the usually questions like why Harper? and why a vet nurse? They then asked some technical questions but stuff you should have learnt from school as well as general questions about you. Just try and be relaxed as well as happy and open. There was also a short written task about work xp. They also will not get back until March.

And that is it for now, I have my last interview Feb 20th for Napier so will keep you updated.

if I get BCC this year (240 Ucas points) will I still have 280 Ucas points because of the 50 Ucas points from As?

Hey guys ,

I haven't heard from Napier , should I be worried?

I'm going to Edinburgh on that day too! Just panicking for two reasons -- A) The vet I did work exp with is away so she can't fill in the form for me until next week!
B) I'm really worried about what they're going to ask us to write about I tried thinking of stuff I'd learnt on work experience but it all seems a little, well, lacking? I did most work exp with the vet surgeon rather than the nurse because I was planning to be a VS until I got my grades!

Anyway, best of luck and who knows, we might see each other there!?

Congrats on the interview and that would be cool if we see each other.

And with the forms did they say they had to be in in a specific time zone because if so see if you could get the nurse to fill it out, I assume you worked with the nurses a little bit?

I understand about what you mean about the work xp, for my first week there was only one surgery and that was a cat spay so nothing that exciting. Just try and think about the things that you really enjoyed about it and any interesting cases that you saw. For example in my second week I was a cat that needed to have it's eye removed which was kinda cool.

Yeah, she's back on Monday so am going to take it then and then email it over to them.

I can think of a few interesting cases that came in, one was with one of my own pets, but am not sure if that really counts?

It would definitely count if it happened while you were doing the work experience, but if not, then just say it was another persons pet!
