Hi Flora86.

I assume you are applying to GTI, Galway Technical Institute for this FETAC nursing course: http://www.gti.ie/courses/course/detail/course/GTI-009
Usually there are no tests beyond the interview for a place on this course but check directly with GTI.

The tests the others on this thread are talking about are for the 4 year nursing degree courses through the colleges and Institutes of Technology.

Hi guys, Im looking for a bit of advice really, Im thinking of applying for UCD midwifery next year, I will be going in as a mature student at 23, but ive no science/nursing background or anything like it! I didnt even do biology in school as geog was easier and at the time, I didnt know what I wanted to do.

I would be looking to commute up and down DAILY from Wexford and was just wondering has anyone else done the course and know what the workload is like? Also on placement days, do you do that around the course? As I might be able to car share with someone else going for a different course but obviously that would be no good to me if I had to go from college straight to the hospital?

Also im very confused with the aptitude test? I see everyone saying maths comes up in it but I dont really see where maths comes into it all? Ha and also because I have no nursing background, am I even likely to get into the course? I have a strong interest in the subject, just nothing to back it up? Im also very keen to get it started as its a 4year course!

Thanks for all your help in advance

Generally everything is put on blackboard or your university equivilant, nurses prob need a good surgical medical nursing book & anatomy & physiology book, the college usually recommend those & even then the library would have copies.

Thanks for your reply. I am just trying to find out how much I will need to start the course like books etc. Do u have any idea about the cost of these books?

Those books could be €40-60? You can prob get them all 2nd hand thou & I advise don't buy until after you start as they will recommend ones

Would books be the only cost when u start?

Shoes and a fob watch for placement uniform is paid for. Then the regular stuff like stationary, print credit, food travel expenses parking permit if you need one.
