Hi

So you have a online adult nursing interview with university of west scotland very soon and it's a group one.

Obviously nobody can give you exact questions or answers for this due to fairness of any other candidates who's having the interview at same time as yourself 🤔.

If you were provided with any information from the university so you can research and study it prior to doing the interview then make sure you follow these ( okay you have said you can't access them so I would suggest that you contact them asap so you can get them to resend it to you and make sure it works)..... These links are what your interview is going to be based on ( they changed the questions for every interview that they do so nobody can pass on the questions etc).

Yeah it's very important you make sure you have your laptop camera on as they will want to see how face,
Preparing for the interview is by researching the information you were sent,
Research the NMC code of practice
NHS core values,
The 6 C's of nursing,
Your personal statement go over it as you may have to answer something about it,
Why you choosen adult nursing over another nursing field,
Why uws for your degree.

Try not to be nervous
Make sure you have any notes you wrote down out of sight of the camera but you are able to read it.

Group interviews are basically what it says - they do group of around 12-15 people minimum at once, you'll have your own individual personal interview with the interviewer, you will then do a question and answer session as a whole group.

Plus remember to contact UWS asap ( do it Friday morning or first thing Monday morning) and tell them you can't access the links provided ( try opening it on another device just incase they are not compatible with your device you are trying to open them on)....

Good luck with your interview whenever it is.
