I've applied for Children's Nursing

I have interviews for RGU and Cumbria.

I'm waiting to hear from Dundee, Napier and GCU but I'm told this will not be anytime soon. I believe they don't even look at applications until the closing date, and then it can take a while - adult normally hear first I think but it's unlikely this will be before the start of February. I've heard Napier sometimes don't interview until mid-March and GCU don't get in touch until March (for Children's) GCU don't interview either I believe.


Hi I'm waiting to hear from GCU aswell, already had an interview with UWS. Do GCU not interview atall for adult Nursing?
Has anyone heard from GCU? Waiting nervously 😩

I'm still waiting too! applied in October and still heard nothing back x
Apparently they don't interview at all. It's all based on the application. I'm not 100% sure, but that is what I've been told.

I'm not sure about adult but apparently GCU don't contact child applicants until mid-March.
Anyone had an interview at Cumbria, for Child Nursing?

Not yet. I have one next month though :biggrin:
Someone else said GCU didn't do interviews but I've heard loads of people say it's an nmc criteria, seems really strange!

Dundee told me last week that I should hear by the end of the week, so hopefully they're coming soon!

That's what I thought too! It does seem strange.

Are you applying for Adult or Childrens?
Branch: Mental health nursing
Uni(s) applied to: GCU, Edinburgh Napier, Stirling and UWS

unfortunately I don't have any experience. I have been trying to secure volunteering places but due to having to be 18 and only turning 18 last month I've had difficulty. I hope this doesn't have a bad effect on my chances. I hav had some voluntary work but not exactly related to nursing!
