Hi all, first post on here so apologies if it's a bit random! In June last year, I left a pretty successful career in IT with the plan to retrain as a paramedic.
I'm currently midway through an access to HE course at college and have recently applied to university. BUT I am also part way through an induction to work with a well known end of life charity as a Community hca and I'm finding myself feeling very drawn to nursing with a focus on community/palliative care.
I was so, so certain that I wanted to be a paramedic and I feel a bit trapped by my initial decision now as I'm concerned that the uni will deem it a bit flakey to have this change of heart at this stage. I also have two young children (2 and 4) and the practical side of me is saying that nursing would be a wiser option in terms of the funding, jobs and placements available closer to home.
Has anybody been in a similar situation before and managed to change courses at the application stage?
