Nursing at Queens...

Jason1990

I know that a few people from my tutorial group were borderline and some didn't find out for definite until about 4 days before the commencement of the course.

I thiiiink they offer the reserve places by phonecall as a priority and then after that letters of rejection begin to be distributed....Really just going to be a waiting game for some people as unfortunate as that is :s-smilie:

Louise, at the minute i am really looking forward to get back, as nerdy as that sounds; but i know by week 2 i'll be countin the days till christmas lol...no doubt sick of the phrase evidence based practice blah blah :eek:

oh i know... love the name of the module though... RIP (Research in Practice) :haha:
No, I will be counting the days down to placement!! I LOVE placement... :woo:

Hey, I'm thinking of doing nurseing but I'm also thinking of doing midwifery. Could I get into either of these courses at Queen's Uni with the following grades:

English GSCE - C
Maths GCSE - C
Sngle Award Science GCSE - C

CACHE Diploma in Childcare and Education BBC (A-Level)
BTEC National Diploma in Performing Arts DDD (Distinctions also Alevel)

Many many many thanks :p:

Unfortunately if you do not have a science at A Level you need to have Double Award Science, I think a CC... but not 100% sure... I know I had BB, so its not more than that...

Thank you very much for your info. :smile:

im going to V festival on Thursday over in London. So what if they ring and i dont answer will my place still stand or because i didnt answer will the place be given to someone else. Im going up to ask them today when im showing them my results.

I am so looking forward to starting (If i get a place). :confused:

I think it will be the most exciting time. :woo:

I myself am an Engineer and i have retrained to become a nurse. Is anyone else in the same situation, and what are your plans if you dont get a place. :eek3:

I got asked why do u want to be a midwife, why does a midwife have to be of good character, what characteristics do u have to be a midwife and what issues are there in midwife in the nhs. Hope this helps I got placed on reserve list, they mark u very tough n u have to have a perfect interview at least 19 out of 20. (that's queens anyway).
