University of Stirling interview

Hi there!

You may be asked things such as if you were working on a ward, and there was a distressed patient living with a dementia diagnosis, asking for their Mum, or trying to leave the ward, how would you handle the situation?

Or you were talking to a patient you believed was self-neglecting themselves, who would you speak to regarding this?

Or you were on shift with a member of staff who you struggled to work alongside, how would you handle this?

Good luck!
Nat (Current student nurse)

Nobody can give you any exact answers on what questions you'll be asked about. Because of the fairness of the other candidates who are also applying at the same time as yourself, each time they have interviews they change what they ask potential students so that it stops things like you asking as if you can't do any research etc and prepare yourself for this then how will you manage with things if you were offered a place as nursing isn't easy. As you have to do assignments, essays and exams over the 3 year's.
I have heard that students were put off nursing courses because of them cheating to get into them from my current students who are on placement.

You should be given some information about what you are to research and study for your interview as they ask questions about what you where given and if so then start working on it.
