Salford June 2012

Hi there, like others have said it did feel quiet and not loud and busy like i thought it would have, though do agree that the sun prob had something to do with it. However i would still love to be accepted there as everyone is so friendly and helpfull.
I suppose all we can do is sit and wait:? with our fingers x

Aww no worries! I've had a fab weekend and I was meant to blog my first week of placement on here over the weekend ha!

Ah that's great news though! Totally exciting stuff.

I know how you feel! I thought I hadn't started my personal statement but I did so that is good news for me but I still need it looking at so I don't think I'll get an application in for Salford! Plus thinking about preceptorships and training, June 2012 is a little soon after qualifying to get the experience I want so I can get my IV and cannulation training etc that I want. Aww that's sweet, really kind! My fingers are crossed for you too! I'd love to have my first choice as well, it'll work perfectly if that goes to plan!

Woo, I might see you there then! Did you do that on UCAS? That's soo good! You've got a great set of universities there, you are bound to get into a fair few of them. It really does sound exhausting! That's a crazy list but all the best and keep in touch via here xxx

Hiya,

I may be wrong? But I thought you had to be working as a nurse and met prep requirements,which are to have worked for 450 hours as a nurse?

I have applied recently, I am a nurse from a surgical ward for 7 months? Midwifery is my future career path but I personally wanted to gain a good foundation knowledge.

I've applied too! I emailed Uni last wk. They said they r looking at the applications this wk and we should know if we are getting interviewed by the end of Nov and interviews take place in Dec! Good luck xx

That's what i originally thought nurse queenie but salford now say post qualifying experience is desirable not essential xx

The wait is killing me!! Wonder why they extended the deadline? Maybe they didn't get as many applications... Or maybe they got too many?? Argh I just want to know lol

xx

Hiya girls!

Yeah I applied quite late, the closing date was 4th november? I took my application to salford and was told that interview would be after xmas? I'm confuse too now lol I didn't know they took newly qualifieds on but hey why not! I was under the impression you had to be employed already at the trust? I must be wrong. Anyway good luck I will let you know xx

Hiya! Oh god now Im confused lol. I emailed last wk as i hadn't heard anything and was told ints were Dec lol. Unless they mean the wk between x mas and new year?? That would be stressful! The original closing date was 12th oct. I didn't even know they had extended the closing date until suzi bee told me. Fingers crossed we hear soon xx

hiya midi2be,

I have been doing some investigating at work lol you dont need to be employed, you get paid a band 5 whilst you train! my contract is only temp anyway although it will be made perm soon but im defo carrying on with my plans to become a midwife. wish we heard something soon. will keep you informed
xx

I think Im starting 2 stalk the postman lol! Im excited but i know when that letter from salford arrives I'll prob feel sick lol. Thanks for letting me know. Fingers crossed we'll hear soon xx
