Adult nursing - April 2016

I'm starting at Canterbury Christ Church in April having been deferred after originally starting in September 2015. I did the three months study at uni and then had an accident and missed my entire placement so have to start again...If anyone needs any help or advise about the course at CCCU, I'm happy to assist. Its a great uni, thats for sure! Phil

Hi Phil,

Sorry to hear you've had an accident! I have applied for CCCU Adult nursing to begin in April. I've applied for both campuses and am unsure which to chose if I'm offered a place! Which campus are you at?

I have my selection day next Friday and am extremely nervous as I have never wanted to do something so much! How quickly did you hear back after your selection day? In the email it says end of Feb but don't think I'll last a whole month of not knowing!!

Hey Emily! I'm at Canterbury as I currently live in Dover. It's a great campus and the staff are excellent.

The selection day is great and very relaxed and as long as you can show just how much you want to be a nurse they'll give you a place. It's very much based on enthusiasm and dedication to nursing. The only scary part is the maths and english tests but as long as you're on top of that you'll be fine :smile:

They said I would hear back within two weeks and I heard after five days so I think they try and let you know quickly. I hope it goes great for you!

Thanks for easing my mind a little! I'm moving to Maidstone in a month or so so both campuses will be a 30 minute drive so can really pick either!

5 days is a much better wait than a whole month hope it is that quick!

Are you going to have to do the 3 months again before going on placement?

The waiting to hear is always the worst part isn't it!

Yes I literally have to start from scratch, which will be strange but I'll try and use it to my advantage. Can never get too much practice in the skills ward! haha

When can I expect a reply after submitting application on 14/01? I'm really worried I have been rejected as I have not heard anything yet. I've been offerd an interview at another uni but really wanted CCU. So basically I want to know how long it took for you to receive an interview after putting application through ucas. Good luck to you as well.
Thank tou

Hi Kirsty,

I sent my application off the week before Christmas and heard back on the 14th January, so I'd say it took probably about 3 weeks, so expect to hear soon! Just because you haven't heard yet doesn't mean you haven't been successful in the first stage, they would have received a lot of applications that close to deadline day so may take a bit longer to hear for you :smile:

best of luck hope you are offered an interview!

Thank you!

Hi Megan,

I have applied for CCCU adult nursing as well to start in April! I have my selection day tomorrow and am quite nervous! I wouldn't worry about the maths too much though as long as you've brushed up on fractions / percentages / ratios I think it will be ok! Also on the information they gave me it said we can use calculators :h:

I'm deffinately more worried about the group discussion & the MMI just in case they ask something I'm not prepared for! I'll let you know how it goes so you have some sort of idea for next week :smile:

have you applied for the September intake?

for the maths I had a look through bbc bitesize that helped a lot! It's GCSEs level so just look through fractions, long division / multiplication, decimals, percentages and ratios! For the English I'm not really sure how you would prepare. Just research current events in nursing and know the role of the adult nurse. Also, if you read up on the Francis Report as the essay question could be on any of these things. As long as you have something to write about on the day and can form sentences I'm sure it will be ok :smile:

good luck! Xx

If you just google the Francis report it should come up, there's a lot of articles on the NHS website that may help and if you check bbc health news for any recent stories that effect nurses that should cover it :smile:

Ok thank you x

hahaha! It really will be a tough choice - am I right in thinking you said you'd be commuting from Dover? Would you be driving? Not sure about the parking situation in Canterbury!?
