Lavidabonita

Decided to start a new thread so hopefully people that want to study Nursing or midwifery this year can chat I'm hoping for either Trinity, UCD or DCU! Hope other people post here

wibblin

Huulllo! me too for nursing , I have children and general nursing in UCD, then general and midwifery in TCD down, so hopefully!:D just can't wait to start college!

Siobhnk

Hoping for nursing in UCD not sure if I'll get it though with the way the exams went though. Points for nursing are gonna rise

wibblin

Yeah think they will go up because like loads of people I've been talking to have some sort of nursing course down!

Siobhnk

Hopefully they won't go over 430 or so That's all I think I could get

Lavidabonita

I'm sooooo nervous about the points They are gona go up but by how much :S Aaah so nervous!I'm basically just living in wait for these results!

wibblin

i know i'm like the exact same, the LC didn't go to plan at all!:/ less than a month till the results...i dunno if i'll even open them and just wait for the college offers...think i'd be too terrified but hey, curiosity might get the better of me! :L really hope the points don't jump too much!

Lavidabonita

Yeah I know what you mean because even when we get our results we don't actually know until the offers come out if we have enough :S 25 days aaah!!I don't know what I'll do if I don't get the points Nursing is the only thing I want to do!

Mr.Fun

Anybody hoping to do the integrated or Adelaide in TCD?

Lavidabonita

Yeah I am I have integrated in TCD as my number 1 and the Adelaide as my number 2!

QueenBee1

best of luck to all! hope you all get your courses! I am looking into doing a plc in pre nursing this september and hopefully enter next year through that! Having recently been in and out of hospital following a miscarriage I have a weird urge to study in this area. The work and care the nurses and midwives gave me was phenomenal and it got me thinking that I would like a career that is so rewarding. Is this a strange way to be inspired?

I don't think you could have any better reason to become a nurse than that!You will be fantastic because you seem compassionate and because of your own personal experience!By just reading your comment I can tell you're a really kind person!Best of luck, I can tell you'll be great

Thank you for your reply! Now you really have me inspired lol! Heres hoping I will get accepted for the FETAC course now!

Siobhnk

I think we all deserve our chosen courses! Fingers and toes crossed for everyone xx

Lavidabonita

Yeah!Let's think positive Good luck all xxx

Siobhnk

Just as a matter of interest, how many here did higher Maths? I didn't, and I'm worried the extra points will cause a big increase in nursing points hopefully not!

Lavidabonita

I did ordinary level!Hopefully most people did...

wibblin

yeah i did ordinary maths too, it'd be kind of unfair if the points went up by much because of the bonus points for higher!
