Do napier take longer to reply to ucas, or is it Scottish unis in general because I’ve got offers back from unis with much bigger grade requirements, but I’m set on napier.

Hi, I just got an unconditional offer for Napier for nursing, I’m just wondering if anyone knows what the accommodation is like and how strict they are on having the occasional guest stay over?

Hi I got my offer like 2 weeks after my interview, they didn’t tell me what range we had to get in the CCA test or give me my results so I’m actually not too sure about that sorry xx

Don't know if I can be useful for any potential students looking at doing midwifery at Napier university as ex student midwife......

Hi, I have an offer for midwifery at Napier. I’ve already done a year of adult nursing. Any tips for someone with a bit of hospital experience? Any books or anything you recommend I buy? I felt so unprepared for my adult nursing course by relying on everything being taught so anything you’d recommend to help prepare me would be great.

Hi, how long after the selection day did you hear back ? Congrats on your offer

Hi Emma ☺️☺️
That's brilliant news about your offer for Napier and I am sure you'll thoroughly enjoy studying there...xx

Your skills from the nursing you have already done should be useful for you ( general OBS etc ).
I don't think you'll have any problems with working in a maternity ward with your experience as I know it's probably different from adult care but it's similar skills etc you are using except you are looking after pregnant mum's to be.
All I can say is use the experience from the hospital work you are currently doing.



Myles Textbook for Midwives Paperback – 17 July 2020 was probably the last previous edition printed but should be a update copy available.

Anatomy and physiology of the human body will be a good book for you - Ross and Wilson
Myles Midwifery Anatomy & Physiology Workbook Paperback – 26 Feb. 2020.

If you are buying any books it doesn't matter what year it was published but get the latest available one if you possibly can as this would do your 3 years of being a student midwife, the only difference for newly published books is the update on medication and technology as this changes all the time.

You should hopefully be given a list of books etc required for your coursework from Napier when you start as maybe in PDF free download copies or what you can buy. Also check out the local council library to see if they have any students nursing books okay plus the university library as well but only issue is that everyone else will be doing the same thing as you looking for books.

Buy them online if you can as probably cheaper than the high street shops.

Thank you as I said I felt a little unde-prepared last time and just want to prepare a little this time.
I'm a master at Obs and I've also had some theatre experience so I'm imagining that will come in handy at some point too. I'm looking forward to getting started.
