What was your interview like for adult nursing at Staffordshire?x


Hi!

My interview at Staffs was actually the most enjoyable out of all of the interviews I went to. It felt more informal and like a chat rather than a really serious interview which made me feel so comfortable- especially when you're ridiculously nervous like I was! The first thing we did was a maths test and you have to get 70% to pass and go onto the next interview stage which was a group interview. After the group interview we did individual interviews and I was asked loads of questions (in comparison for Keele which I was only asked four I think), but that is nothing to worry about they were all fine. The two ladies who interviewed me were absolutely lovely and put me at ease completely.
All the staff were actually very very nice & supportive... that's what made the uni stand out most for me personally.
Honestly you have nothing to worry about, all they want to know is that you've got the qualities that would make you a good nurse e.g. compassion, and that you can balance your studies and personal life well. Before your interview try and think of a couple of experiences you've already had (maybe from a previous job) where you really helped someone & went above & beyond.

Firmed my offer for Forensic Computing at Staffs a few days ago.

I'll be on the Stafford campus. Does anyone know how long the accommodation stuff usually takes to come through after you've replied to the offer?

Hi Katie, thanks for replying!

I'd like to sort the accommodation stuff out but it looks like I haven't had a student ref number come through yet. Is this normal? I replied via UCAS on the 23rd of this month
