I'm not too sure yet, I've only applied for 2 and I'm torn between them both so will have to make the decision if / when I get any offers! If I go to ARU I would have to stay on campus really as I live about an hour away in no traffic but would take ages in rush hour getting through the tunnel! And also for the sake of placements would be much easier to live on campus - how about you?

Oh right that's ok then! :smile:

well I've been quite ill got an ear & throat infection so think that may have had a bit of an impact but still hoping I done well enough to be offered a place! Apparently there is still 72 places for adult nursing to start in March so fingers crossed!! Xx

Have just received offers for all 3 I applied for! :woo:

there were 13 in my session but apparently 13 more in the morning one and they are doing more on Monday! They weren't all for adult nursing though the majority had applied for mental health :smile:

The maths question that I had for my numeracy test was really easy because it was more like question like 12-7+9 which is very GCSE foundation type whereas the literacy question was like an essay question that you have to answer with the 6Cs and legislations

Hope this helps xxx

Hi Karen,

The interview was very relaxed and nothing to worry about! It was MMI style and there were 3 stations that you spent 5-10 minutes at each one. Each station had one question / scenario. There are no right answers they just want to know your opinions / reasoning behind it! Good luck, sure you'll do great :smile:
