Hey i emailed the office to ask them bout the uniform and books.

I have been hearing that we not longer get any money we spend on them refunded!!
Although some people are saying that its not true, and we will be repaid for them in our first bursary payment.

Has anybody heard any information on this as the office hasnt replied to me yet.

Hi everyone,

I know this is very off topic, but wasn't sure where to post it, so sorry in advance!

I am hoping to apply for 2013 entry to Queen's Uni and initially wanted to do Midwifery. I recently found out that there are only something like 35 places for midwifery every year and about 3500 applicants. I had started looking at the other nursing courses and am particularly interested in Mental Health nursing; I have just returned from doing 2 years at Kingston Uni, London studying Psychology but due to personal and financial reasons decided to leave after completing my second year. I definitely want a degree though, hence why I am re-applying to Queen's.

What I wanted to know was, if I put Metal health nursing as my 'first choice' (I know it doesnt work the same as UCAS but bear with) and then picked midwifery as a second choice, would that make it look like i wasnt THAT interested in mental health nursing because i had put another option down. Or would they look at it as being wise and putting down more than one option because nursing is so competitive to get in to?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi Ceeves86

I am so excited about starting nursing but just to let you know about the registration. On the Registration Leaflet it says the wizard is on from 9.00 am 12 September but that is for all other QUB students. Nursing and midwifery is different and they do register their new students much earlier. In your pack you got a coloured flyer it tells us that our online registration is opened from today and it is as i have mine all done .

I know its a pity about the uniform but after all i guess we are so lucky to be getting our fees paid and receive a bursary - i am just so grateful to get started on my course to fulfil my dream of being a nurse

see everyone soon
