am i chasing a nursing dream?
3 Answers
i'm a 33 yr old single mum, and ever since i left school i have been in full time work within the nhs, until the birth of my daughter 2 and a half years ago, now i work part time and care for my girl. i've been a healthcare assistant for 10 years in a gp surgery and to quote my nursing colleagues 'i am effectively a nurse, i should do my nursing degree' this is ultimately what i know i should do and really want to do. I am meant to care for people and i enjoy where i work, but understand that i will have to pull myself out of my current employment to do this which is sad. That is PRESUMING i was accepted for my nursing degree course-i have all the relevant qualifications and 10 years of 'nurses experience' behind me. My question i guess is, does anyone know if it would be possible financially for me to do it? I don't know much about bursaries, student loans, allowances for children etc, i'm desperate to provide a better future for me and my little girl, but i understand if im not able to do this because my finances won't allow it, ie rent , bills etc my wages aren't great at the moment anyway, but i'd love to become a recognised nurse. Any advice would be gratefully received. Thankyou.
