I have spoken to Staffordshire University today on behalf of a friend as she was wanting to obtain her transcripts, the chap i spoke to told me that they are starting to offer post graduate courses for people who didnt get the hours in maternity, mental health and childrens nursing, which could be good news for anyone short on hours.
He said it was in answer to growing demand!!!
I suppose it could be due to the job freeze in NHS trusts
Specializes in Medical and general practice now LTC.
Hie everyone
Finally got approval from board I had to make up hours and i used a distance learning university to make up the hours and the board just sent me a letter last week approving my eligibility to sit the nclex exam if anyone is intrested PM me not sure if we are allowed to put uni am happy to put the contact details. It did not take that long to be honest if you really want to move anything is possible.
Can I ask how you managed to make the hours up in practical as usually supposed to be done the same time as theory?
I asked at the hospital that i work and i took two weeks annual leave and work for free in the maternity wing in labour,pre natal clinic,post and hoe visits. I just explained to the head of nursing that i was intrestedin see that side of nursing and was willing to spend some time just observing which is what the making up of hours involve. After I completed the ward Manager wrote to the uni specify that i had done two weeks observing and the areas covered. that was it. No bank for two weeks no playing up back to being a student it was good experience i should admit.

That is good if the hospital will allow. Can't see why you don't mention the University am sure if people are interested they can find contact details themselves
Hi everyone, I emailed Andy Worden at Staffs Uni and asked about a course that would enable me to gain paeds, mental health and obs/gyn eperience and he replied as follows (he gave me permission to quote him):
"Yes, I've seen the same message on the forum after being contacted about it by quite a number of people - I have asked if this can be removed or at least for it to be noted on the forum that this isn't the case as I recognise need for free speech and comment etc.
"I'm afraid the Faculty and hence University doesn't offer any such course - there have been a number of student nurses who have elected to undertake paeds/obs/MH experience during their elective/summer breaks to work in the US but theres no course for this unfortunately."
Disappointing but I'll keep looking into other options...

Congrats and well done! Could you PM me some details of how you went about this (which Uni, contact details etc) as I would like to get started on making my hours up.
