Im hoping to get a place on Adult Nursing at Queen's for sept at the ripe old age of 27 (Still look 19 tho apparently lol!) Worked in Pharmacy for 4 years and finally taking the leap. Anyone know roughly when the interviews will be?!

Interviews last year were in March sometime and then the acceptance letters came out in May time :smile:

Hope that helps. xxx

I love placement... haven't been on in a while because I am flat out!! :lol:

I am in St. Luke's Amragh... I am doing Mental Health - and I love every minute!!!

The first term was amazing, it was so intense... so busy! :lol:

but it was so cool... a lot of it was common sense... but it is weird to be using it now in on placement...

Anyone waiting for Feb, or even next Sept - it is sooooooo worth the wait!! You will love every minute! There will be days where you are like, screw this... but just work through, and now you are loving it!!

GOOD LUCK

The hours aren't too bad when you're in uni.....generally 9-3 or like 11-5 with breaks in between. On placement you could keep your p/t job if your employer is very understanding that you may need to change hours at short notice. You could be fine like myself, for first placement i have been fine with my p/t job and working the hospital hours, as both aren't rigid in the hours that i do.

Hard to tell just really play it be ear as you go along

With your personal statement keep it as simple as possible, straight to the point and not discussive............i know its hard to not waffle but remember they will be reading hundreds of thses personal statements....and there are only about 270 places for sept entry.......be imaginative.

I also didnt sign the back or send a photo with the form, What was I on that day! :o:

Anyway all sorted and ready to start!
