To wonder if I could work part time whilst doing a nursing degree?

Hey,

I'm seriously considering retraining and looking at how to still be financially independent.

I know it'll be nigh on impossible to work part time in year 3, due to placement etc, but what about year 1&2?

I work an admin job at the moment, from home, so I was hoping to drop to part time.

Is this a silly idea and is it even doable?

Higher education is totally new to me, so I'm not sure what sort or timetable I'd be on whilst at uni.

One husband and no children with a reasonably large mortgage.

Does anyone know if you can work via bank if you don't have any HCA experience? I have signed up to the portal, but there are no roles on there at all? Maybe I'm doing something wrong. I need an NHS nanny!

This has all been really helpful, thanks everyone.

Yes you can - I think it will depend on the trust - some let you start in 1st year I believe - our trust we had to wait til we were 2nd year students. I didn't have any healthcare experience before this. Have you got any caring/volunteering experience that you could put on a job app? Might be helpful
