How hard is Access to Nursing course?

[stottiecake]

I am enrolled on the one year course, starting in September. My loan is in place and I have a start date but I am beginning to slightly freak out a bit! Am starting to think I won't be able to do it.

My mum has Alzheimers and although she lives independently she needs a lot of support and its down to me mostly. I have a 5yo and a 3yo.

I think I am feeling daunted after being a sahm for nearly 6 years having a few relationship problems too. Probably a midlife crisis to boot. Urgh.

Thanks for any advice

Enjoy it.

I finished mine last year. It was 1/3 biology, 1/3 psychology and 1/3 health studies. Starting uni next month.

I didn't do any chemistry on my course but the people that did said it was really tough, so I would recommend dojng some prework in that area!

I'm currently doing the course, two full days a week and a lot of assignments. Teachers are very helpful and you can email them anytime. My class mates are helpful, we created a WhatsApp group, and all help each other out, outside of college. Fingers crossed the hard work pays off.
