I'm Currently Feeling:  | You would need to see what colleges near you do the course and what the entry requirements are. |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | You dont need to have a nursing degree you can have a direct entry with GCSEs, think its english, maths, science at C or above. Thats what it used to be, it may have changed now though ! and also a health related subject for example i got into nursing with GCSES and a diploma in childcare, that was 4 years ago now though so it may have changed.
You need to contact NMAS (nursing and midwifery admissions service) http://www.nmas.ac.uk/
If you write to the address on the front page they will send you an application pack. Or just phone your local university for details !
Good luck x |
