Interview for Adult nursing 2017

Hello everyone,
Am new to the student room, I need help as I just apply for nursing in CCU. I have being booked for and interview February in medway campus. Please can any body who has done interview in canterbury give me some advice as to what the maths and numeracy tests is all about bcos I haven't done anything related to health at all. I will be very greatful.
Hi Favegreat,
Have the university sent you any information about what the test involves or is it on their website? Normally it's basic addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and converting decimals to fractions and fractions to decimals. Some ask this in a scenario type question. Some universities allow a calculator some don't. They should let you know beforehand.
I have heard that revising GCSE maths on bbc bite size is helpful. It would be level 2 maths.
I hope this helps.
And good luck.
Hey, they normally will have sent an email with links as to what the selection process will entail. I had my interview there early december and we were given a calculator for the maths test. There was also group discussion, MMI's and a campus tour. The staff were very friendly. I had my interview at Canterbury campus. I got offered a place and that's where I'll be studying in September :smile:
The English test is an essay style question.
Hi all, Has anyone on here been asked to provide additional information in support of their application, for example, copies of certificates/ another academic reference? and if so how long should the universities take to let you know the decision? I applied end of Nov 16 and still waiting Should I be worried or do I wait it out? I've heard others have interviews coming up for the same course and university choice, what should I do? Please help

No news is good news really, I have had to supply further information and I'm still waiting to hear. So don't worry the universities take their time.

I hope this helps.

Hi mel_l218, Thanks so much for replying and I know your right, it's just hard when all your friends have interviews and still waiting and of course all applications are different and I shouldn't let it get to me too much. Guess all I can do is be patient and wait on UCAS, exciting and scary times. Thanks again. :smile:

Thanks for the advice, Mel, I've added BBC Bite Size Maths to my list of things to revise for the interview, if you have any other advice feel free to get in touch. :smile:

Hi RedPanda,
There is an article on the student room called 15 interview tips for nursing and midwifery that is worth a look and googling nursing university interview comes up with some other tips and example questions.
Like I said in an earlier post, the universities normally supply information about the day on their website and in interview offer emails.
I am still waiting to hear back from my university choices but I have done a lot of research and I am preparing with the hope of being offered an interview.
I hope this helps and good luck.
