I know a few nurses that have applied (at different times) and none of us have heard back yet no rejections, interviews or offers and have been rumors that they are waiting till janurary deadline :frown:

Hi!

I'm thinking of applying to Essex for the FdSc as it gives the rest of my choices - which include 3 BSc degrees and 1 DipHe - a good mix for success! (Hopefully).

I'm currently doing A levels in Biology, Sociology and Psychology but have other A levels in English lit & English language, plus Politics.

Good luck, and let me know if you hear back. :smile:

I ended up applying to Essex, Teesside, Cardiff, Portsmouth and Queen Mary London.
How about you? :smile:

Not sure how that would work though as the Ucas deadline is in January.

Oh thats interesting did your reference not send it via ucas? If it was a dentist maybe they want proof its come from them ? I know they start interviewing in Jan so that would make sense! Fingers crossed we hear soon :smile: and did they email you directly or through ucas?

Thanks!
Yes, I've had 2 weeks experience in a practice where I shadowed dentists and helped with filing and reception. Currently, I've had ongoing periods shadowing the hygienist-therapist plus implantologist at a different practice.
I also took part in a FutureLearn discover dentistry online MOOC which was awesome!
Hoping to get a day to shadow in my local NHS hospital too. :biggrin:

Amazing, props to you.
If I don't get in this year (my 1st year of applying) I am thinking of taking up a dental nurse apprenticeship, then apply the following year. Hoping I won't have to do that though! :redface:

Just got an interview offer today from Teesside! So chuffed! :h: Portsmouth uni have rejected me for hygiene and therapy, but are considering me for another course. They didn't specify what course...
Can't win them all I guess, but am still a happy bunny right now!
