Mature Nursing Exam Results 2014

darkspark10

Hi

Just wondering does anyone know what date in June the results for the mature nursing exam come out at?

Thanks

WildRosie

As far as I know, they haven't committed to a date, just early June. They came out unannounced on the day after the bank holiday last year.

HI there just got results off the public jobs website, i passed, anyone else get their scores?

blondie3057

The highest score was 213, lowest was 129, i got 176, i hope it was enough to secure an offer, time will tell, anyone else get theirs????? Wud love to hear, i cant believe out of 1325 that only 873 passed, very tough competition, this is my 3rd time doing it, i passed all other years too but no offer

southend

Ohhh mine is bad. Oh well, I'll try again for next year. Could have done better but all tests were unfinished when I did it. Practice practice practice with a timer....

retalivity

is 129 the lowest score that passed or lowest score overall? 123 seems to be the bare minimum to have qualified.

gf didn't pass the job simulation exercise which was as she expected as she ran out of time.

blondie3057

My email just gave highest qualifying score 213 and lowest was 129 then it gave my score, no doubt it is a vert tough aptitude test, i did alot of practice, its my 3rd year sitting it, hard luck to those who didnt give up, but do not give up, try next year and apply for the UK as well, nursing is a lovely profession, i am working as a healthcare assistant since 2006, in large dublin and limerick hospitals and nursing homes, its a very tough career but one of the most rewarding, if u really want it dont give up girls and guys of course.

Hope you'll receive an offer from CAO this time. I'll definitely try again. I only practiced 3 weeks before the test. I got 140 points, not getting the qualifying score which I only got 38 points. Numerical, I got 59, and Simulation is 43 points.

I passed and had a nice high score and im delighted. First time in 10 years that ive done an aptitude test and I was very nervous. Clearly the brain is still functioning

I didnt really prepare much for it. I googled aptitude tests with answers, read through the tests and then checked the answer sheet to see if mine matched. Most aptitude sites will give you an explanation of how to achieve the answers which helps.

sevg

Also on the day of the test if I couldnt figure out how to get an answer to a question straight away I skipped over it and moved onto the next. No point wasting all your time tryin to work out one answer and end up with ones you never had time to answer in the end

Hi everyone, I got 178, delighted, went for the test 2 years ago very unprepared and failed, was devastated! This year I decided to take the career services course and I can tell everyone that it was the best decision ever. Worth every cent! I applied for all the nursing courses in cork. What about everyone else?

I applied for id nursing in trinity. ive been working as a carer in the sector for last 5 years

blondie3057

Girls I attended the career service day for this test, it is the best way to prepare, it costs 150 but its well worth it, its a day long course from 9 to 5, u are provided with lunch, they give tons of material for u to bring home and practice on, they cover every type of question that comes up, i attended it 3 weeks b4 the actual exam, i felt very prepared and confident after it, it was well worth it, go to careerservices.ie click on nursing (mature) and apply to attend any of these courses run all across the country, attend 2 if u have to, they are worth it. They explained the maths questions perfectly, the qualifying score for maths was 39 i got 62!!! This is def down to the day course, never mind books this day course is the best way to prepare i really think so, especially if u found the maths hard, which i have always struggled with

First week of July they're going to offer places.

Got 183, hoping for mental health in Trinity - needed 65% and got 76%

polly92

I got 151 but I don't think it will be enough to get a place...its a pity they don't post all the results anonymously so we'd know where we stood.

darkspark10

I got 141 which won't be enough points either not for General Nursing. I have completed Nursing Studies this year and received my results today 10 Distinctions so I am hoping I am in with a chance for Ireland. Its really bad the whole Nursing here they just make it impossible..

Hca

Hi, I got 162. I really don't think it's enough to get a place.

Hca

Hi, how did you figure out what percentage you got? And how do you know what percentage you needed for trinity?

polly92

hopefully you'll get in with your FETAC distinction. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed though...I hope I get offered something!

Im not going to give my exact score (dont feel like I should have to) but I will say that its between 180 and 200 and im very happy with it

frassidy

hey....i managed to get 199 somehow...and i just got 10 distinctions in a nursing studies fetac course so i'm quietly confident of a place although nothing is certain.
To anyone who isn't successful this year i would definitely recommend doing the career services preparation course for next year...it was the best 150Euro i've ever spent. I went in to the exam pretty confident and it was all down to that course.

Also, if it's not too late, try get on to a pre-nursing fetac level 5 course. I just finished one in colaiste dhulaigh in coolock and definitely did not regret it. you learn so much and especially if you haven't been in school/college in a few years, like me, it's a great way to shake the cobwebs off before going to university. Also, it will tell you for sure whether you definitely want to do nursing or not. There was loads of people in the year that decided it wasn't for them halfway through, so its best to know then i guess rather than halfway through a degree...and the experience is amazing. I applied to work in nursing home abroad and they sent me to sweden all expenses paid for 3 weeks..def recommend a year like that and def recommend colaiste dhulaugh.

Got 182, pleasantly surprised, and would feel much more confident doing the aptitude test again next year, although not too confident of obtaining a place with such huge competition. Best of luck to all.

I am on that FB page ;-) Iv applied for Mids in Dundalk and then Trinity. I got 191. Some one else on the FB page got 194 for Mids Dundalk. It's so tight this year!

I'm here thinking that I should check out how many mature places each college has but I don't no how many people passed that want to apply there if that makes sense. I will continue trying to find documents for SUSI that seems to have vanished into thin air when I need them.
Great score by the way!!

The number of places are in the Nursing A Career For You handbook. Think it's 5 mature places for Dundalk x

polly92

Could someone please post the link of this facebook page with test scores, I can't seem to find it. thanks

breny

Polly92,

They wont let me link it to you as I'm a new user, the link is on the other tread-It's the mature student midwifery psychometric test 2014 tread, I think it's the last page.

HTH,
