Thanks for the advice sweetpea :wink2: . What sort of questions did you get at the interview? Do they try and catch you off guard? Madwife, I live in Stockport. Are you still feeling homesick?? If it makes you feel any better we've not had any nice w...
Hi, Thanks for the advice you guys! I feel a bit better knowing that I don't have to be completely original! I don't come from a background in healthcare so I was a little unsure about what to talk about. I'm hoping to get a place at Salford Uni sta...
Hi guys, I will be applying for a place at uni next month to do a degree in adult nursing and I'm a bit nervous about what I should put in my personal statement?? Does anyone have any ideas? I've been told to avoid the cliches: I want to be a nurse b...

Hi there, The Canadian college in question was called Langara college in Vancouver. You won't be able to do the theory online as it all has to be done in an approved school, not distance learning. The course's are $1500 (Canadian dollars) per branch ...
Thanks for the info Sue. What confuses me is how to apply for job's the direct route? Tina mentioned that it was okay to go there and speak to people face to face, but elsewhere Suzanne has said this is illegal? I'm wondering how any hospital would b...

Thanks for the advice Anna. I think then, when the time comes, I will go over there and see what can be arranged. I've heard far too many of these horror stories regarding agencies, plus I'd rather be more independent as Tina say's. :paw:
Hi there! Thanks for the reply. I was told today that I would cover those subject's but I will be doing 75 hrs theory in each branch but only 10 hours practical experience!! I'm still a bit short but where there's a will there's a way!!!!! Steven:bal...
Hi, Thanks for the info Tina! To be honest, I much prefer to go the direct route. Is the best way to just phone hospital's up from the UK and ask them if they sponsor foreigners? Or would it be better to go over there and speak to someone in person? ...
:mortarboard: I'm currently doing a bit of research into uni's in the UK, as I am hoping to do a degree in nursing next year. Can anyone recommend any particular one? Especially in the north (I'm from Manchester). I was hoping some of you might like...
Hi Silverdragon, Thanks for the advice. I am going to phone up a couple of Uni's in my area today (Manchester) and see what they have to say about it!! According to the agency "Geneva healthcare" that another user mentioned, the hours are: Paediatr...
