    The panel would always ask you why you wanted to do children's nursing...thats for sure...Hope that helps...I am a nurse myself and that's one of the questions that I ask my nursing students that do their placement in our ward.

    I can't give any advice, but if you come over to The Student Room loads of friendly people will be able to help! It's the world's largest student forum. I moderate there, but other than that I'm just a satisfied user

    http://www.student-nurse.org.uk/ has a great forum for current and prospective nurses in the uk. Wonderful bunch over there. :D
  • Hi.
    I have just started a nursing course myself and can remember some points from my interview. They asked why I wanted to be a nurse, why I chose that Uni, what qualities I would bring to the profession. Erm oh I was also asked about how I would cope with the workload,and balance uni work with family/social life. Also they could ask about how she would cope financially and if she would be working at the same time.
    Hope that helps and good luck to her!
