    I wish I had seen this before my interview! I only forgot one of the six Cs but got it in the end and the interviewers put me at ease by saying they always forget one of them and its a different one each time! So that made me feel better. The numeracy test I did really bad on, I got 7/12 but it was the fractions/percentage questions that I got wrong and one multiplication with decimals. The literacy test I got 15/15, it would have been embarrassing if I hadn't as I'm doing A-Level English Lang/Lit. In the interview, the last question was like "Why would you be a good nurse" or something like that. I responded by saying, "Firstly, I'm a really, really, really, really caring person." Like, why did I say really so many times? This was at BCU. But literally, as soon as I got to the Seacole building, the fire alarm went off! Agghh!

    • @ClaireCarmichael
      @ClaireCarmichael  Před 5 lety +2

      Chloe O'Grady Hahaha yes! The fire alarm does go off a lot 🙈
      I’m awful at fractions don’t worry! I found the drug calculations so much easier than that one. So glad you passed the English hahaha! That would be bad. I heard they have cut the maths and English test now from the interviews :)
