Mental Health Nursing Interview (University of Dundee)

A lot of the colleges recognise the stress potential that a nursing interview might cause, so have adopted a de-stressing “group interview” system. I’m not sure if Dundee is using this - basically day long chat with group activities - but it could well turn out to be an enjoyable day. The way to win in this group interview is to be yourself, be mildly assertive and sensible, and have some relevant questions prepared , perhaps about the intricacies of the Scottish student nursing bursaries for the work experience periods?

I did a mh nursing interview with Dundee 3 years ago (so it might have changed a bit). We went in as a small group but then each went to a table and basically was a speed dating kinda thing and spoke with a tutor, a nurse and a service user. Dundee was probably one of my preferred interviews and less stressful as all my others were me being interviewed alone with 3 interviewers, so it felt less intense at the Dundee one.
Im in 3rd year now (not at Dundee) and believe they probably look at you and if they think you’d suit mh, so like your attitude etc, and some general mh nursing knowledge.
