Is 34 too old to become a nurse by the time i qualify? And could people give me advice on how best I go about getting into nursing. Already have a degree but in a humanities subject, have A’s at GCSE in science, but no science A levels. Worked in an office but have had a caring role for an elderly parent they last few years and that’s now come to an end it’s given me the drive to want to do something completely different and nursing really appeals.
