Has anyone had the tests and interview at Bournemouth uni for adult nursing?

I had an interview for adult nursing at Bournemouth. No tests just a short video clip and group interview relating to the video. Then an interview on own. Hope that helps. 😊

Yes a conditional offer to study through yeovil university centre. They were really quick at replying after the interview. They were all lovely. Asked about the video clip in the group, basically what we thought of it. Some of the group i was in had seen the clip before. Not sure if it's on RCN website.

In the interview one to one, asked about: experience, what would do if someone did something wrong at work e.g. neglecting patients, if ever had any conflict in groups, how I'd cope studying and on placements & a bit of a random one about coping finically whilst studying at uni! Those are the ones I can remember. I had two people from the university interview me, others had one.

When's your interview? Best of luck. 👍

Thanks for the reply, are you from London? The transport system is very complicated so biggest fear at the moment is getting lost! Also is maths a big part of the course? Was talking to a pharmacist student and she said maths was a big part of her course so was wondering if ours would be the same? A little nervous about the literacy and numeracy test. Would be awful failing and getting sent home!

I'm not originally from London, but I moved here to attend City :smile:

are you from London? Honestly, the transport system is very easy! Once you get used to it! And city is in such a central part of London, it's so easy to get to! By bus or tube :smile:

And to be honest, maths isn't a massive part of our course! Of course there is some maths, but It's mostly just used in relation to medicine management and things like that :smile:

but the maths entrance exam was by far the easiest one I sat! It was multiple choice and you could use a calculator and the maths was very simple :smile:

(and I'm the worst person ever at maths haha!)

Have you been given a date for your English and maths test? X

No I'm from Dublin in Ireland but been living in Canada for the past 3 years so flying home especially for the interviews! Makes it even more nerve wreaking!

Ah I see, yeah that's what I thought. It wouldn't be my strongest subject so glad to hear its not a core part. I'm going for the interview next Monday March 16th so fingers crossed. I have seen other people say they went for the test then had to be called back for the interview but it seems that mines all in the one day. Test first then if you pass you move on to the next stage. That's what it sounded like in the invitation email anyway.

Thanks so much for the info, definitely helps :smile:

Thanks for the reply. 9-5 sounds so long but I would imagine the day flies once you're in there, gives you a chance to get a good feel for the uni too so looking forward to it :smile:

Yeah! For international applicants they do them all on the same day :smile:

sounds good! My interview is 25th March, I'd be looking at studying at the Yeovil campus, I live in woking, but my dad lives in chard which is 20mins from Yeovil. I've had a conditional offer from middlesex already so feel a bit more relaxed

Hi,
When did your invitation for interview come through? What date is it on? I have applied to Napier to do children's nursing too and have been getting worried because I know they interviewed on 2nd March and I have heard nothing since my confirmation email when I submitted my application in October!

With regards to what the interview day involves, there was a lot of information at the open day that were really useful. It would be worth contacting admissions at Napier to ask if they can email you a copy. Briefly, there's a couple of group activities, a short essay (1-1.5 sides A4) on the importance of communication in nursing and a one-to-one interview, and possibly a numeracy test.

Has anyone heard back from Edinburgh Uni? I've got offers from Glasgow, RGU and Dundee but I've had nothing from Edinburgh since October and I;m getting really worried now
