Nursing at LSB

Hi there :smile:

I'm a mature student who will be applying for adult nursing, 2016 entry.
I was wondering if anyone currently studying nursing could give me some insight?

I was wondering what the teaching is like,as well as placements, cost of living (big concern since it's London) and the accommodation?

Also, for anyone who has done the access course, what did you get in with?

Many thanks :smile:

I've also applied for Greenwich, what about you? X
I applied to London south bank but It's very accounting based so may have made the wrong decision. What are the pros for greenwhich?x

Hi girls.

Iv been looking into forums for selection day tests at southbank university. I have sat these tests twice before and failed but from what i understand, allot has changed. This year, apparently the tests are on the computer. 30 mins for numeracy for 15 questions, and only 15 minutes for literacy. In the literacy, from what i understand, they have taken out the essay question so its only comprehension. Instead, if u pass the tests and called into an interview, you will have to write an essay then for 5 mins- this is so unrealistic as its impossible to write a 200 word essay in 5 mins. I will sit the test tomorrow, and clarify everything with you girls after. Im so nervous. Wish me luck.

It was great. I passed. Just waiting for an interview date. Anyone sitting these tests should go on nhs snap. Its a very similar test to the one you generate on snap.

sat mine 2 weeks ago and i only just heard back from them inviting me to a interview, seems like the longer they take the more likely you have passed as i know a few ppl heard within days they have failed.
