Yea the webpage for doing that was rather strange.

I got mine all sorted when I got my offer letter and recieved my certificate last month.....certifiably not a criminal never thought i'd have to say that

I am sooo confused i dont know what to do. My ucas application just changed sayin my insurance choice (Health Psychology in Edinburgh) was confirmed. I dont wanna go away but I don't want to be dossing about doing nothing for a year & I still haven't heard anything from Queens about this nursing. I also have no accomadation sorted or my student loan for that course :frown:

.. but i wanna be at uni doing something. Any ideas guys? Grrr this whole thing has stressed me out sooo flipping much. I would love for queens to just hurry the flip up, its sooo frustrating!!
Sorry for the rant guys, just all my friends are off to uni and I am stuck doing nothing

Hmmm time is really ticking so you can't afford to wait really.....phone queens tommoro and ask them if there is any chance of you getting a place on nursing this year. If they are hesitant to say or don't answer then go for what you are sure of and go for your insurance choice and sort out the student finance for that. If you don't act soon you're going to end up with nothing and that won't be a fun year at all think of it like that.

If it turns out that QUB do eventually offer you a place you could always change your mind at the last minute.

For the student finance if you applied for finance for queens, you just need to fill in a change of circumstances form to tell them it's going to be a different uni and the fee's will be of a different amount. And it really shouldn't take too long to sort out.

Good luck with whatever you decide to do :smile:

i found a pic a while back... can't remember where... but the uniform is a white tunic with a green ring on the arms and around the collar... like a nurse would be a blue tunic with a white ring?? and then black trousers i guess...

can't remember where i read that when we weren't in uniform we had to dress professional - that much googling has been done!!

this time next week we will be getting our uniforms fitted!! :lol:

i am hoping it's going to be here try that on as opposed to full scale.... i am going to molest you with my measuring tape....that ain't fun :o:

Does anyone have a time for the fitting next week? All I have is the date - 8th September. Jason1990 - did you get your timetable? I got mine yesterday.

Louise18

hahaaa might be abit of molesting going on infront of everyone, calling out measurements enall awful!
strange we would have to dress professional who are we trying to impress?? how often are we not in uniform.
noo dont know where or what time to go at, itll probably come in the next enrolement letter.

Peggy J

Where does it say to dress professional? Didn't see that anywhere??

Reply 417

too old for this

Guys don't be stressing about what to wear, that will be the least of our worries when we start the course. When we are in class it shouldn't matter too much what we wear, more when on placement?

Reply 418

Louise18

£6055 bursary?? i tought it was £3000 was a nice surprise to recieve in the post today :smile:

GRRRRRRRR!! THEY ARE SOOOOOOOOOOOO UNHELPFUL!!
Phoned up and they said that children's nusring is closed and there is no movement in the reserve list and she didn't want to give me false hope. I don't think I got in, i hate them, they have been sooooo unhelpful through the whole process!!
Sorry everyone, just annoyed.
Congrats everyone again :biggrin:
