Hi anyone applied for UWS nursing 2016? I am going to applicant information session this Tuesday afternoon and interview on 2nd March. Any advise for interview? I'm a mature student so but daunted about it all!

That's true, they've really knocked my confidence down if I'm honest. .if they're not willing to support me, then will anyone else? Idk.. I really don't want to go there anymore so I'm guessing going to UCAS is the better bet. It wasn't fair at all, he kept nagging and making notes and he said 'why won't you tell me'...it's ridiculous, my parents aren't happy. .

If it was an MMI maybe he was wondering how you would deal with confidentiality if someone one asking about a patient?

Hi, I've applied to mh nursing at UWS in October but still not heard. You've got to have a English and Literacy test and depending if you pass that you then have an individual interview. I know, because of all the other unis nursing interview I've been too, you get given different scenarios as to what you would do, you just explain how you would go about the situation and the interviewer generally asks more questions about your answer and any potential problems that you could face and how you would overcome them. You generally get points depending on your answer (not sure about uws) and you've got to get a certain number of points to get a place.

Nope because the interview had finished, the bell rang and he said thanks for your time..then he started asking about unis, so it couldn't have been related to it at all. You spend a few minutes after the interview had finished to wait for the next room to be cleared. He also asked stuff about how far i travelled because i was the only English student who was at the interview day yesterday...Idk. .. it's annoyed me.

Has anyone got an idea about what's widening participant candidate means!! According to kings this is what they said on my application


Usually means you come from a part of society where you are far less likely to attend university such as low income household, refugee, estranged.
I'm a care leaver so come under it cus only a tiny percent of care leavers got into further or higher education

I don't think you need to know that for the bursary application. You can use it when using the calculator but the application itself doesn't need to know. You input the course details and length in months (36 months/3 years) and I think they sort it out on their end.
Hiya everyone,

I've only just seen this post!
i'm applying for the september 2016 intake for Adult Nursing!

I applied for: UWE, Worcester, Oxford Brookes, Cardiff and Manchester.
I received an offer from Oxford Brookes just before christmas. I've been offered interviews for everywhere apart from Manchester because I was unsuccessful.

I've got interviews for Cardiff and Worcester in the next two weeks, I'm so nervous for them!!

How is everyone else doing?
