    Since D-Day is finally here I thought I'd start a wee thread for those of us who just weren't meant to be SMs in 2011, but 2012 had better watch out for us! Of course those who did make it or switched to AN are also welcome, as is everyone! We were on such a rollercoaster together, I'd hate to lose touch with any of you, and those lucky enough and fabby enough to have got in better tell us your stories (AN stories too!)... So, why don't we start by telling each other our plans? I'm going to enrol in Higher Human Bio night class at my local college. Can't commit to anything full time as there are auxiliary positions coming up in September at my maternity placement so hopefully will be in with a good shot at that even though LOADS apply apparently. Can't be any worse than what we've just been through eh! Will fiddle with my PS just to link skills to role of mw better. It's hard to know what to change with no feedback on it. It's been a really rough 7ish months for me since applying so I don't think I'll be concentrating on my app as much this year as it really is a painful process (she says now...we taking bets on whether I'll be a trackaholic again come the end of September?) xxx

    I'll join your shiny fresh thread Binky even though it will be 2013 before I'm applying for 2014!! That is IF the conversion makes a comeback.

    Hey Binky!

    Well I have one interview left next week(er how did that get here so quickly!) for Sept 2012 start, but if I don't get a place then I'm going to do Human Biology as well next year. Still undecided as yet whether to do it distance learning for a higher through local college locally or through the open uni...

    Then as for 2012, well I'm pretty doomed as far as the remaining scottish uni's are concerned. RGU don't accept any distance learning quals so thats me out with them. UWS... I'd need to redo my Maths GSCE and get a B (currently have C) and they suggested I do a higher...but then with the pending quals nonsense I'm not sure if they'd accept me.

    Napier I could give another shot...

    I'm waffling!

    In short I'm thinking of applying to UWS, Napier, Notts...and maybe a couple for Adult nursing? Dundee and Stirling Highland.

    It also depends on what RAF camp is staying open in Scotland...and where my husband is likely to get posted!

    Binky I agree with you, this whole process took over my life this year. I thought of little else. And still don't. I think I'd be EXACTLY the same next time around...but thankfully I'll have a little baby to keep me occupied!

    Ah remember the old days when we went to Glasgow for the study day and we were so young and ful of PMA! hehe.

    Hey Wozza :) Your Hull interview sure did come around fast! How time flies...Funding could be a deciding factor, would you get help with any of them? Thank goodness for ILA from my point of view because I'll be signing on as of next month when my course finishes, yuk.

    When will you find out about hubby's post?

    Same, just hoping I'll have an auxiliary job to keep me occupied.

    PMA, that sounds familiar aye...

    Hey ladies!!

    2012 is going to be our year!! :D

    Im gutted i didnt get in this year but im sooo proud i got interviews at all my choices including cale!
    Im going to spend this year saving, getting more experience and doing some college courses to beef up my application for sept.

    2012 will be a better year for me. Ill have more savings therefore can move away if needs be.
    My first little nephew is due in July so ill be able to spend time with him! Also going to New York, plus lots of other fun things planned so this time next year will come around in no time!

    Can anyone confirm for me again what uni's are doing the course next year in scotland?!

    Keep positive everyone, were gona rock 2012!!!!
