I qualified 4 years ago and trained at Hull Uni (very good health library as I remember). Some of the people I trained with had no experience at all, but it didn't really matter (although I think it probably does help). UK Nurse is right, it IS how you come across in your interview. Your qualifications are fine for Hull Uni (well they were when I applied). If you do get in there, you'll have to let me know all the gossip about some of the lecturers. I was born in Hull and now live in Leeds, and although I don't really like the place anymore, it is a cheap place to live and university life was fun. Good luck! Let us know how you get on!

Hi guys
Basically my situation is: I have the 5 GCSE's required + 2 A levels, im 20 and have spent the past year concentrating on my rugby I was planning on doing this until i was 23/24 then applying but the burning desire to become a nurse has become far too great to ignore. Due to work commitments at the moment i'm only able to work in a nursing home every other weekend (wish it was more, absolutely love it). Ok, I'll stop rambling my main fear is that i'm going to struggle getting past the interview board cause of lack of experience, if anyone could shed some light on what avenues i could take I would be very very grateful.
Oh, the universities I'm applying to are: Hull, Huddersfield, St martins (Carlisle campus) and University West of England
