2015 Nursing Applications - Where? Which Branch?

Scroll to see replies

I have my Sheffeild Hallam interview on my birthday (hoping it will give me good luck) on the 22nd of April, I really want to get in and was hoping those with offers for Adult Nursing there could give me some tips and advice.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks

If you feel prepared then you should be great. I am hopefully studying children's nursing and the interviews and tests I found went best at LSBU because of how relaxed and friendly the staff were. Don't worry, I am sure you will do great!

They can't tell you the exact topic, it's against the rules on tsr.
It will likely be something to do with current issues in healthcare. However it's less about the content and more about checking your ability to write a short piece of writing.

Are you applying for LSBU? If so when/if you firmly accept a place then we have a Facebook group for children's nurses starting in September :smile: I can give you the link if interested.

Yeah that will be good , send me the link through private message
To anyone who's still attending nursing interviews (I know there are a few of you out there), I've started a nursing blog & have just uploaded an article about interview tips.
I hope to continue adding to my blog as I continue throughout my nursing career.

I am struggling with the Bursary application. Am I right in saying that they need the income details for the tax year just gone? (Ended April 5th 2015). Because my parents haven't got their P60s yet so I can't fill in the whole application.

Have they got their payslips from last month? If they only have one job, it will show the years total income and tax paid on the pay slip and its accepted by NHSBA (I used my mum's payslip and it was processed really quick).
I used my husbands payslip from last month if that helps.

Is applying for the bursary separate than the finance needed to fund the course? And do we need to apply for this? It's all so confusing

NHS bursary= one application for tution fees and all bursaries
then SFE/SFW= an application for a maintenance loan
