Edinburgh Napier Veterinary Nursing 2017

Was wondering if anyone has heard back from Napier and been given interview dates? I know it's not been long since the UCAS application closing date but just curious to see if someone has heard back yet. Thanks

Hi, I think I heard back a couple of weeks ago now, off to my interview on the 6th March. Is yours the same date/ had you recieved a date? 😊

Hi, I heard back about about 2 weeks ago now and have an interview on the 24th of March. Very happy when I got the email as I was getting so worried since a lot of others had heard back by then. How is it you are preparing for yours?

Hi there, I have an interview for vet nursing soon and was just wandering if anyone had any advice on how to prepare or in the he interview ☺️

Ah, I see. I haven't started preparing yet, and probably should since this is the only degree course I applied for. I live in Scotland so have only applied for Scottish degree/diploma courses. I'm asking the Napier graduates at my local vets for some advice with the interview, so if I find anything useful I can let you know if you like!

Hi Abbie, where is your interview for?

Hi. It's with Edinburgh Napier, I've looked on loads of websites but Im completely lost. There doesn't seem to be much information

You will get an email closer to the date explaining what will happen on the day. There's an introduction to the course, content and any question, then you either do the group discussion or the writing assesment. Don't worry about either of these; there both pretty basic and you dont need loads of knowledge. You'll get lunch there and then the one to one interviews after that which are generally 15 mins each, if you have any questions I'm happy to help ☺

Thank you. It's just good to know what will be happening on the day ☺️

Your message is so helpful! I was just wondering if the writing assessment is knowledge based or experience? And for the group discussion and one on one interview, is there some ethical situational questions?

My interview was on Monday and it's honestly nothing to worry about. The writing part involves different styles of questions, so one will definitely suit you. As for the group discussion, they don't want to know about knowledge, they just want to see how you interact with others and the interview is really just about the panel getting to know you. I was really surprised about how chilled out they were about things! Hope this helps and Good luck 😊

I have an interview for Napier on the 24th too, what sort of thing do they ask/talk about in the group discussions? and also what questions in the one to one interview? starting to prepare now.

Also does anyone know if you have to take the reference sheet from the vet practice with you? the email told me I am supposed to take it but the sheet has a return address?
