Aww that's amazing. Good Luck!

I started working for the Belfast trust as an hca after a graduated from jordanstown with Sport science over a year ago and it's just reinforced how much I wanted to do Nursing!

so nervous but excited at the same time. praying I have what it takes to get in. I'm rubbish at interviews through 😭

Don't put yourself down you already have a degree which is a big plus !! If you need any help give me a shout !! The queens interview is rubbish it does not determine a persons capabilities or their passion for nursing it's a tick box exercise and I didn't like it to be honest, Magee is a lot more nursing based and shows your passion a whole lot more!! A lot of girls I no got turned down for queens and would have made brilliant nurses !! So keep that in mind queens are very acedemic and money based !! It's a tough selection process but you have your degree on our side so keep positive xx

Thank you so much. The last 6 month's I had my heart set on queens but I think that's for handiness more than anything but having sat and probably thought through it, as much as it would a huge commute, I think I would prefer magee.

Also having already been a student at Ulster albeit at jordanstown I know how good a uni it is.

I will be glad to get offered somewhere haha

Ha ha yes tell
Me about it, Magee are ranked so much higher and are so much more helpful, sure I'm from lurgan so what does that say !! Takes me 2 hours there and 2 hours back and i wouldn't change it for the world because there support speaks volumes and I have kids and a family ect !! Xxx

I would be travelling from Antrim which also wouldn't be far off 2 hours each way. I'm just a bit wary of going from full time work in a fairly well paid job to a bursary and squeezing in some bank shifts when I can lol

I no that's the bad part but it's only 3 years of your life you will never get back, and if it's a dream it's worth every second !! Think of it this way would you rather be skint for 3 years or always be looking back saying what If that's what I said to myself and here I am starting today and don't give a toss about money as long as I get through it lol xxx

I'm not because I'm an alumni of ulster university so I can get access to online open day leaflets etc online. I've a friend from the ward who is starting magee next year (she had a place this year but put back entry to next year) so she has been getting all the information needed
