Tachelle Bowen awww good luck!!! I’m sure you’ll be great. Just remember, they’ve picked YOU! Out of so many people they’ve seen something in you. Many people would have been rejected :( which is sad. But take that as you’re brilliant and go shine today! 🌟🌟🌟

Pls I have an interview next month and it's a group interview. Any tips or advice on this please

[@chloeogrady8500]

I wish I had seen this before my interview! I only forgot one of the six Cs but got it in the end and the interviewers put me at ease by saying they always forget one of them and its a different one each time! So that made me feel better. The numeracy test I did really bad on, I got 7/12 but it was the fractions/percentage questions that I got wrong and one multiplication with decimals. The literacy test I got 15/15, it would have been embarrassing if I hadn't as I'm doing A-Level English Lang/Lit. In the interview, the last question was like "Why would you be a good nurse" or something like that. I responded by saying, "Firstly, I'm a really, really, really, really caring person." Like, why did I say really so many times? This was at BCU. But literally, as soon as I got to the Seacole building, the fire alarm went off! Agghh!

[@ClaireCarmichael]

Chloe O'Grady Hahaha yes! The fire alarm does go off a lot 🙈 I’m awful at fractions don’t worry! I found the drug calculations so much easier than that one. So glad you passed the English hahaha! That would be bad. I heard they have cut the maths and English test now from the interviews :) The interviewers made feel at ease too. They were really lovely ❤️ x

I am just wondering if you have any ideas on what a levels to take if i want to become a student nurse. :)

[@ClaireCarmichael]

wayne watton do your A-levels, or the access to HE diploma at college ☺️ and get applying to the university for nursing once you’ve got those? If you already have those, then just apply now through UCAS :) I hope that helps x

[@waynewatton9666]

@@ClaireCarmichael I just wanted some advice on which A levels to take like I know I'm doing biology and chemistry but I'm not sure which to take as my third option ??😀😀😀

[@ClaireCarmichael]

wayne watton This is from my uni website: GCE A/A2 Level 120 UCAS points from a maximum of three A/A2 Level passes, which must include one of Health and Social Care, Human Biology, Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Applied Science, Psychology or Social Science at Grade B. A typical offer would be BBB. www.bcu.ac.uk/courses/nursing-adult-2018-19 Just go onto any uni you want to apply to and look at ‘entry requirement’ ☺️

Estelle 20x It’s only the standard type questions don’t panic. ‘Why you want to nurse’ ‘how you cope under pressure’ ‘how you’ll balance workload’ know the 6Cs and examples of them. Then scenario based questions such as ‘what you’ll do with an angry patient?’ Xx
