I'm currently an unqualified community care worker for a private company working with elderly people with dementia. I have a long history of caring at home for my son and before him my mother.
Caring and nursing to a degree is all I know.
Would I be an idiot to take an access course I try and get into uni to do nursing?
I know the NHS is on its arse and this isn't a money thing, I'm not interested in the wage.
The course is 16 hours a week so I think I could fit it in with work and 4 kids, it would be hard but I'm quite a tough cookie in terms on having a lot to deal with.
The only thing I think I'd struggle with is math, I'm awful at it, can that be overcome?
What does everyone think? Am I being unrealistic to do this at 31?
