    Huulllo! me too for nursing :D, 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!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,340 ✭✭✭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 :/


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 56 ✭✭wibblin


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,340 ✭✭✭Siobhnk


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 98 ✭✭Lavidabonita


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

    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!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 98 ✭✭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!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 164 ✭✭Mr.Fun


    any males looking to do nursing?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 31 MzMollz


    Best of luck to ye all!! And listen, what's done is done, just don't give up! I am heading back to college this Sept to do Midwifery. If Nursing/Midwifery is something you really want...it'll happen!! Maybe Ill see some of ye in UCC!! :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 76 ✭✭Ciara 5


    Hope I get nursing, want it so badly! The thought of going to college to nursing in September is so exciting. Fingers crossed :)

    I know it's the only thing I want :S Well guys, this time 3 weeks we'll all have a bit of an idea anyway D:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 408 ✭✭certifiedcrepe


    Hoping to go to UL! :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 76 ✭✭Ciara 5


    Anybody hoping to do the integrated or Adelaide in TCD?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 98 ✭✭Lavidabonita


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 282 ✭✭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 :D

    Yeah!Let's think positive :) Good luck all :D xxx


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,340 ✭✭✭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! :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 98 ✭✭Lavidabonita


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 56 ✭✭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!

    Omg all my friends want to go to UCD!Don't know any that want nursing though!I know someone going into 2nd yr nursing there and she loves it!I mostly chose Trinity because its so handy, only one bus into town and I live quite near Tallaght too so it'd be handy while I'd be on placement!Otherwise I wouldn't mind between UCD or Trinity!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 73 ✭✭rosiee


    Anyone doing or know of anyone doing psycriatric nursing in NUIG/UCD?

    Really? All of mine are either going to dcu or Nuim! Yeah trinity is handy, right in the city centre! Just I'd be moving up to Dublin anyways and I really loved the UCD campus and facilities in the Health Scienes building :) we'll all be happy wherever we end up anyways!
