The universities that I applied for keep declining me a place and it says because of my interview. I have very bad social anxiety so struggle in these situations at interviews. Is there anything I can do to make it better? I have applied for nursing so I need to go to uni

Other than that, it's probably just a case of being so sure on your knowledge and experiences that you can share them even with your anxiety. Maybe try immersing yourself in 1 to 1 or small group situations where you do have the upper hand - I found tutoring younger students really helped me be more comfortable in social situations, since I could get used to having the attention on me in a space where lack of knowledge was never going to be an issue.
Best of luck to you, it's a tough hurdle to pass but I'm sure you'll make it eventually

See if you can get some interview coaching. An experienced and supportive person can really help as of course does a bit of practice. See if your school can help or the National Careers Service.

You need to sort out your anxiety through whatever means suits you best - medication, counselling, hypnosis, mindfulness, meditation, whatever.
Once that's under control, you will be able to relax and shine at your interviews.
Alternative routes into Nursing includes apprenticeships.
Also, working as a Healthcare Support Worker in the NHS can lead to studying for a Nursing degree on the Open University sponsored by the employer.
