Thank you, will bring a photo too.
Ooh, never knew of a 2nd reference was needed. My class all needed one by our teacher and I was never informed by anyone for more than 1.
(e) I thought we were meant to add 2 on UCAS but seems not the case, so I'll bring my emloyer details as a reference. phew, thought I'd filled the application incorrectly.

Don't sweat it, it seems that all uni's are different, but you will need a second at some point.

Hello everyone. How are your application going so far?
I have been already rejected by two universities (MDX and GREENWICH).
However I have received an assessment for Maths and English at London South Bank.
Has anyone been to the Maths assessment?
Help! I'm panicking 😫😫 If I fail this I only have two left.
Nursing ain't easy at all lol

Hi maths assessments usually include basic maths e.g. adding, subtracting, percentages, fractions, units etc. You should be fine hopefully I'd just look over the basic stuff you did at GCSE :smile:

Ive been offerred a place at Wolverhampton on the City campus so should be going there next year which I'm happy about! Hopefully all goes well for you! 🙏 :smile:

Really? What did they ask in the interview? Also how long after you sent your application did you hear back? When was your interview?

I had my interview at the start of november and sent my application of end of october. I heard from them the day I applied. The interview was really relaxed and they made you feel comfortable. It was just normal questions you would expect. as long as your prepared and know about nursing and why you want to be a nurse then youll be fine. let your passion show :smile:

Thank you for attending your interview for BSc (Hons) and MA Nursing: RN Mental Health Interview (B760/B769M) on 06 Jan 2016 01:00 PM GMT. Because of the popularity of this course, the University operates a ‘gathered field’ procedure whereby all or some of the applications received between September and the 15 January UCAS deadline will be held until all have been received and assessed. This means that a decision may not be given regarding your application until May, when the interviews for on-time applicants are complete. Please keep reviewing UCAS Track for updates on the outcome of your interview

I know Bournemouth are telling people at interview that they may not hear until March for the same reason. Think they may make a few exceptions if you are really strong or really awful though but most go into the gathered field.

I sent my documents to them in November too and they sent a confirmation email 23rd of December. I got an invite to interview today.
My friend also applied but sent documents in December, got confirmation same date as me but not yet interview. I think they're slowly working their way though the hundreds who responded.

Yes the protest starts at midday tomorrow at St Thomas' Hospital in London, against the cut's to nursing and midwifery student bursaries.

I can't go because I'm working, but there's the doctors strike on Tuesday to go to too! Tell the government it's not OK to keep cutting the NHS!
