Is anyone else still waiting on an offer from LSBU for Nursing Sept 2017

I knew there was a deadline in January but i was still waiting for my reference so unable to send off my application, I hope it wont have too much of an effect on my application as i hear some other people also applied late or are still applying.

I didn't do A levels or an access course , i have a level 3 and level 3 extended diploma in childcare and also NVQ Level 2 in health and social care and have had previous similar experience as i was a home carer for a year and a half which i have just left recently.

I hope i at least manage to get to interview as nursing is something i have been thinking about for a while now and the more i wait. The more i want to do it.

Well universities give applicants equal consideration when applications are received on or before UCAS Deadline (15th Jan), so all you can do is wait and see, I'm sure your not the only one in this position. Let us know how it goes, LSBU are normally quick but I dont know what happens to late applications, you could call and ask admissions just for a peace of mind instead of you worrying, just ask the simple question.

With Student finance, you can still apply now I just received a email today quoting "Going to uni or college this year? You should apply for your student finance now. You can apply in three easy steps: Go to SFE’s student finance zone Find out what student finance is available to you by visiting our dedicated student finance zone. Register online It’s quick and easy to apply online at www.gov.uk/studentfinance Fill in your application You don’t need a confirmed place. Apply using your preferred choice of course and simply change the details online later if you need to."

I guess we can still apply and there ain't a deadline just yet, because people are still getting invited to uni interviews and all.

Which unis have you applied for? Have you attend any of the tests ?

Don't worry you will get through, you just need to research about the course you want to do?
Adult nursing, right ?

Hi I work at LSBU.

With regards to offers we are currently in the our busy interview period and we are trying to get out offers as soon as we can following the interviews. We will be sending out some more offers soon.


The workbook is only given to our graduate applicants for the shortened course.

Glad you are all thinking of applying to LSBU. If I can help with any of your questions please just ask.

Hi nelfran29,

The workbook is something that LSBU gave me to do - its part of my offer as I haven't done any formal study for years.

I wouldn't worry about it - they would have told you if you needed to do one.

Hi, @Nurseteacher Thank you for replying, I am due to start my Adult Nursing Course in Sept 2017, How can I prepare myself? I am so excited yet so nervous, Don't know what I am letting myself in for.

Hi @Nurseteacher,

I am obviously in a slightly different situation. I'm working through the workbook ( very slowly I might add) using one of the recommended texts. I'm a bit reluctant to spend money on books that I can't tell if I will get on with. On previous academy study, I would have gone to a library and checked them out. Are they any books you would recommend for human anatomy/ physiology ? Is there a way I can access resources/ journals for free. I have found some great stuff on YouTube too but am a bit unsure of their provenance.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Hi @Nurseteacher 😊
I have myself an interview on Thursday for adult nursing
Do you have any advice or tips for me? I'm so very nervous but I am determined to do this!

U


Good luck for your interview. The best advice I can give you is just be yourself. The interviewers are friendly and we are not out to trick you. Take some deep breaths, calm yourself and just answer what is asked. Good luck

Don't be nervous we not a bad lot and I wouldn't worry about doing anything beforehand as we will take you through everything you need to know before you start on the wards. You will make some great friends on the course who will be a great support.

Are you going to our Havering or Southwark campus?

Unlike other uni courses ours is a bit longer, the long student holidays don't exist I am afraid and you will be doing something 45 weeks of the year. Despite that our students do have fun, they do get involved in the life of the university by joining societies, taking part in sport, volunteering and doing the typical student partying.

Well done on getting a place and welcome to nursing which I consider to be a great career.

Good morning thanks for replying I am fully prepared and I am so excited.

I just wanted to know will the university contact us nearer the time to sort out DBS and occupational health. I have read the guidelines on the website but still a little confused.

The course is due to start in Sept and I have applied for the Havering campus. I can't find any Havering students on here either everyone I have spoken to has applied for Southwark campus.

Thank you

Hi Yes the university will contact you and provide you with the forms etc to complete so don't worry. There is a good team over at Havering so they will support you well. Not sure why students offered Havering not on here, however let me assure you will not be alone. I look forward to welcoming you to the University.
