Ill be commuting to and from uni. And my placements are hopefully in the
Chichester locality. I'm hoping we hear something soon, as its coming around very quickly! I haven't heard much about my bursary either. Has anybody else?

I'm sure we will be told soon enough. Probably be a week before! I'm more worried about my bursary not coming through! :frown: As for locality: I said in my interview ill be commuting.. And the closest location to my home address is Chichester. So that would be my locality. I know if you're staying in halls, they usually give you Guildford locality. But if you're moving away from home you could be expected to move to any locality which has limited numbers, as thy could struggle to find placements for people. But I wouldn't worry as its the Feb/March cohort there is a smaller amount of students anyway :smile:

I hope so! Why are you worried that your bursary won't come through? Oh ok fair enough. Is the start date 24th of February or 25th?

No real advice really, they ask questions specific to the individual, they asked me about experience I currently had and how it was relevant. The differences between a healthcare assistant, student nurse and a registered nurse. Strengths and weaknesses. Gave me scenarios I had to talk thorough. And as for the tests, it's all about your writing, punctuation etc, not necessarily what you write. And the numeracy I found pretty easy, just practice fractions, percentages and division. Also how to work out the mean. Hopefully that helps :smile:
Hi all

Congratulations!! I am also starting 24th February so will be looking forward to meeting you all :smile: . I too have not heard anything as yet. I have just recently emailed Charlotte Fenn to ask if we will be receiving any info soon. Originally i was supposed to start in the September intake but due to an illness I've had to change to Feb intake. Its probably for the best as i know it will be a smaller group and I'm definitely fit and ready now.

I previously applied for my bursary in July, assuming i was starting Sep and it has all been approved. Now I'm not sure if i have to reapply. Long and complicated but i did ask C.Fenn for advice. I did receive a welcome guide by email for Sep intake and I'm assuming Feb will be pretty similar. The first week is all about enrolment, uni tours and meeting other students. The timetable for registration is done by alphabetical order and takes place 8.30 -11.30 in the university hall. I doubt the Feb intake will be much different but hopefully we should all receive an email soon.

Oh! and the main book on the recommended reading list is..... Waugh, A and Grant, A (2010) Ross and Wilson 'Anatomy and physiology in health and illness'..... Very helpful book. I used it on my access course.

Hope this helps guys :smile:

Hi I was supposed to start on the September intake too, but because I changed my mind from the child course to the adult at the last minute I was put on to February. For the bursary I had to apply again, but the deadline for February intake was December 31st.. but i'm sure if you call them up and explain it could be sorted out.. but i'd recommend calling them? Not sure what to expect from the February cohort.. can't find much information about it to be honest..
Where will you be staying?
