I know this is the last thing you probably want to think about at the moment, but i feel that this thread might help connect people who want to do the same course and give you a chance to make friends before the course starts.

1st choice lvl 8: General Nursing W.I.T

1st choice lvl 7: Applied social studies in Social care W.I.T

The drop (if there is any!) will be minimal! Nothing compared to the drop last year! I *should* have my points as that other exam (which cannot be named due to the onset of PTSD symptoms..) went really well :pac: I definitely think there will be a drop in nursing points if what I've read is correct so good luck come August 17th!

I bloody well hope so :P !
Yeah, I only have 5 down on Level 8 and then 2 on Level 6/7.
I only want to do something with languages and I like business so I chose commerce and German and I'll be doing a diploma in French in the evenings. I'm also stuck with Galway because my parents have an apartment there so I get to live rent-free.
There's only so many business and language courses in Galway!

I'd actually love to do psych nursing, wishing I put it as my #5 choice to be honest but I admit I kinda succumbed to the pressure of putting choices in slight order of points.
Hpat was tough. It's a horrible exam. I got 91st % in it, no idea how, but pretty confident I'll get my first choice
Where would you like to study nursing?
