Advice re part time courses

[cooookies]

Hi everyone.

I've always wanted to do nursing, but when I was younger I went into childcare instead which was my second choice. I am a 26 year old single parent to my young DS and would love to know if I can still do it now cause I'm currently working in a fast food restaurant for my income due to the flexible hours but feel I am ready now to commit to the studying for a better life for both of us in the future. My plan would be continue working part time whilst studying part time also.

Anyone have any ideas of the details of how I go about it which courses, costs current requirements etc?

TIA!!

A nursing degree is pretty full on, with placements which might not be local, and will definitely have shifts that are long and not social hours.
Even youngsters going straight from school (with dc and a home to look after) struggle to work PT jobs around a nursing degree, I'm afraid, hence why there is so much anger about the bursaries being taken away, and fees having to be paid for the training.
