I have offers from both uni's 1 is child nursing ( what I wanted to do) and 1 is adult nursing ( i would do pgdip in edge hill for child after). I loved some and hated some in each uni but they both have identical pros and cons.

I studied adult nursing at Chester, qualified in 2019 and have mentored quite a few students since (everything from 1st year 1st placement 1st day on a ward ever, to supervising a 3rd year OSCE and everything in between!)
My cohort - adult nursing at Chester - got the vast majority of our placements in Chester & Ellesmere Port. There were a few who got community placements in Frodsham/Helsby (district nurses or nursing homes) or Tarporley War Memorial Hospital - but these were people with cars/who live in that direction. Nowadays the occasional Chester student will get a placement at Arrowe Park hospital, however generally most placements are based nearby to/on whether you're studying in Chester or at the Warrington/Birkenhead/Crewe satellite sites. Children's nursing I get the impression may be slightly skewed due to children's services - there was a children's nurse in my cohort who got sent to Leighton for 2 placements, quite a number got more than 1 spoke placements at Alder Hey.
Placements at Chester are anything from 4 to 12 weeks long where the 12 week one is final placement.

Apart from final placement, there is no choice whatsoever - you go where you get sent. This is the same for all universities.
