Hi, I will be applying for child nursing this year after dropping out of a primary PGCE. How much experience does everybody have? I've worked in a nursery for two years, as well as an after school club for primary age children. I've shadowed a social worker for two days and I've also started volunteering at a Mums and tots group.

I don't have much experience of caring for sick or disabled children as it's so hard trying to get work experience in hospitals! With only 20 or so places per provider, I'm really worried it won't be enough!

Hello, this is my second time applying for children's nursing, I didn't get in last time because my grades were abysmal. I went to uni last year doing early childhood studies however, I didn't enjoy it at all, I knew it was nursing I wanted to do. Although, the course did give me lots of experience with children, so that's a positive.
I'm now doing an Access course for nursing and so far I seem to be getting on better than A levels.
I'm applying for Anglia ruskin, Northumbria, Nottingham, Oxford Brookes and Sheffield Hallam, although Nottingham is my favourite.
I am hoping guiding and my primary placements are enough experience, as I still haven't heard back from my local hospital about volunteering.

Good luck to everyone else applying.

I did the access course. Was the best thing I ever did. If I could give you one bit of advice it's work hard from day one as there were a few on my course who lost their uni place by 3 credits not being at merit/distinction. Good Luck!

I'm loving it so far! My first few units are ungraded (achieved or not achieved) but I'm hoping my tutors will give me an indication of what my assignments would be graded if they were.
Thanks for the advice!

They should do if you ask them. If you need any other advice then I'm only a PM away. The best thing I ever did was buy the book they use at your college. For us it was Human Biology by Boyle and Senior. That really helped me with Biology. For the other subjects I just raided the Library.

Hi Im applying for childrens nursing in a couple of weeks! Does anyone know when we would get invited for interviews? My friend sent her PS in at the weekend and has 2 offers for history already, is Nursing that quick?!

Thank you that's very sweet of you! They said they don't have a book they use in particular but every unit they release a list of books they suggest for us to use, most being in the library or cheap on amazon. Already got a mountain from the library which I'm trying to get through, thank god I've got half term to get ahead of myself haha!
Thanks again!

I sent my application 4 days ago and have already been offered 2 interviews, so yes they seem to be pretty quick with replying as it's quite a long process to get through!
