Hello bit difficult to explain but wanted to know some other output here!
I worked as a health care assistant and gained an NVQ Level 2 in health and social care, at the time (this was 2008) I had to do some extra modules to gain the credits to go to university to do adult nursing which did get me in and i completed 2 years of nursing. Unfortuntely I fell pregnant, took maternity leave then my marriage broke down and i had no support to finish.
Anyway fast fast forward from 2011 and that's where my heart lays really. I've tried to get on in other jobs but it's not what I want. Now i have a different life, plenty of support and a great husband but i've heard things have changed now about entering uni.
Anyway i submitted my ucas application, i've tried to mention everything basically, the fact i did two years nursing already,passed all exams, have had a total of three years working on wards plus the uni experience of learning and i have the nvq level 2 health and social care wih extra credits plus GCSE english and maths at B and gcse science and history at c.
What are my chances? Has anyone had any experience of going to uni a mature student with not the "typical" qualifications? I don't have a levels just my own experience and qualifications. I never struggled as a student nurse academically (all exams passed well above 60%) I really want to go back to it! How long do you think it would take to hear? Thanks for any advice!
