Contact your school? They should have a copy of them, or you can get in contact with the exam boards? It may cost you to get more sent out to you though :smile:

don't panic! X

thanks for your kind reply.
i have contaced each exam board and paid for thr cirtificates but they said it will take 35 working days and my interview is next week. do you think a simple paper copy with all my gcse grades will be fine because i have this from school.

No problems :smile:

if it was me I would explain to the university before the interview of your situation and that you could email them the certificates when they arrived?

Hey I've been accepted by Hallam too for adults nursing :smile:

thinking maybe I could set up a thread on the Hallam board on here for September 2016 intake? Are you doing adult nursing

I'm doing childrens but a nursing board for Hallam 2016 would be good :smile:

Literally they just said what you said, but also to bring along the provisional statement of results (and a photocopy of that too)

Hi everyone! :biggrin:

So now that the 2015 applicants are about to become real life student nurses, I thought we should have a thread for 2016 entry applicants. Applications are open and I for one am panicking already, so might be nice to have a support group! :tongue:

Let's all introduce ourselves!

Branch:
Uni(s) applying to:
Relevant experience/extra info:

I'll start...

Branch: Child Nursing

Uni(s) applying to: King's, LSBU, City, Kingston, Middlesex

Relevant experience/extra info: Hospital ward volunteering, teen mental health volunteering, sure start, worked as a tutor, supply TA, and have a job interview this week for a LD support worker role! Also got shadowing in a therapy clinic and a hospice coming up in October

EEEK! its almost time to pay and send!

My choices are LSBU, Kings, Middx, Herts and Anglia Rusking Cambridge (Not in any specific order) and im going in for Adult Nursing.

My relevant experiences are working as a domicilary carer, and for the blood and transplant service.

I have been doing some research into interviews and found some questions asked such as:
Why do you want to be a nurse?
How would you connect with patients who appear to have nothing in common with you?
How would you deal with a death on the ward you are working on?
What is the role of a nurse in a hospital or community?
How would you cope with a lot of stress?
How would you communicate with a patient who has speach difficulties.

Don't forget to look at current NHS affairs (Nursing times is a great mag to be reading)

Also look at the 6C's and the frances report :smile:

If possible get someone to give you practice interviews as well as a bit of maths revision.

Good luck everyone!

Has anyone else got an interview for Bournemouth? I've just had an offer for one and don't know whether to pick the one next week or the one in january. As I have an interview for New Bucks the day after in the January slot. Only thing is I have to travel about 2 hours to get there. So really not sure!

I know, what is the hold up?! I wish they hadn't said it would be a week, if it wasn't going to be.

I got impatient and phoned, apparently some answers will be going out today and tomorrow. But I've not received anything yet!

I'm still trying to find someone else who sat the Derby maths and English test, because my internet cut off and it's really upset me because I obviously haven't passed due to it cutting out and having 6 minutes left to answer like 20 questions :frown:
