2016 Nursing Applicants!

I believe most (all?) nursing degrees ask students to get the BCG. However, there is a shortage of the vaccine at the moment, so you may or may not actually be able to get it before you start placements.

It doesn't always scar, if that helps -- mine didn't at all. I would rate the whole experience as significantly better than having TB.

Wait and get it done at uni. Don't pay for any vaccinations, occupational health will do it all for you.

Hiya. Well done on the interview! Hat branch have you applied for? I have my interview on the 15th of Feb for children's nursing. Did you do the MMI's? I've been trying to practise for them but I'm not quite sure what to expect. x

Anyone at Kings for an interview on the 4th of Feb? Or has anyone already had one and can offer some tips? Would be much appreciated ☺️

Hiya, I have got an offer for adult nursing at King's! I would advise you to be as confident as possible and convey your utter enthusiasm for nursing / midwifery and have a clear idea of why you want to be one!

Let me know how it all goes and best of luck.

Thank you. I understand you can't discuss much. It's just different territory compared to the original interviewing method so it's scaring me a little haha I should be fine though, I'm feeling pretty confident regardless.
Can I ask you how long you had to wait to hear about your offer? Did you hear through ucas? x

I applied in December, And just told an interview for Inverness Campus, just got an email on Friday :smile:

Hey did you apply to the main campus and the Inverness campus? I applied to both and got an interview for the main Stirling campus, I asked if the interview counted for both or just the main campus as I hadn't heard anything from the highland campus but the lady at Stirling said it would probably count for both. So just wondering if you heard from both? :smile:
