About the programme

This screening helps a university assess whether you are academically and personally ready to study nursing. The panel may explore your reasons for choosing the profession, your grasp of basic science, your judgement around patient dignity and your ability to cope with structured clinical training.

How to prepare

  1. Review core biology topics, including body systems, infection and blood circulation.
  2. Prepare a personal and specific explanation of why nursing suits you.
  3. Think through simple situations involving confidentiality, consent and anxious patients.
  4. Practise explaining a science idea in plain language without guessing.
  5. Check the institution's official admissions information for its current screening arrangements.

Common mistakes

  • Describing nursing only as helping people without showing that you understand the work.
  • Giving unsafe advice when you should seek guidance from a qualified practitioner.
  • Ignoring confidentiality or speaking casually about a patient's private information.
