I have an offer to start children’s nursing 2019 at Nottingham and I wondered if anyone knew - do most nurses go into self catered or catered? Because I kind of want to be where the other nurses are

Hiya! I have firmed university of Nottingham for children’s nursing 2019 too! I am also struggling with accomodation. I have emailed the school of health care about it and they said that self catered would be better due to the weeks and placements on the course. However I’m still stuck of which accomodation to apply for. I’m looking at Raleigh and broadgate self catered halls, but I can’t decide what to do?! I hope this helps you in some way or another. Any advice for nursing accomodation from others would also be great help! :smile:

Yes of course! I’m in lenton and wortley but you can only apply via zone and room type. So mine is a shared bathroom with one other person - if you apply to north zone that’s where the majority of nursing students are as far as I know. But self catered most are in St. Peter’s court xxx

Thank you for the info! I’ve emailed the school as if placement is only a few weeks for child nursing as well, then it wouldn’t be too bad to be in catered! However if it’s a long time then I’ll look into self catered more. I’ll just have to wait and see what they say!xxx

Hey! I chose catered in the end because we only have 4 weeks placement in the first year! I was at the offer holders day yesterday and I found plenty of people doing catered and plenty doing self catered so it’s entirely up to you! Xxx

Hi lovely! Unfortunately I can’t help regarding accommodation, apart from that there’s an offer holder day on April 16th (I think that’s the right date) you need to go on my Nottingham to book. You might find some useful info there.
But if you want to join the Facebook group I’ve set up for us all just search Notts Uni Children’s Nursing 2019 Cohort :smile:
