Chester uni and possibly LJMU! There wasn't many places and both of them got places! I'm not sure about how a-levels are being thought of when it comes to applying but a few of my other friends have got in to adult nursing too from the same BTEC. I think the good thing about the BTEC is the different work placements; day centres, nurserys, schools, nursing homes. My college also offer a cadet health and social care BTEC for people who definitely want to do nursing they do the same work but have training ready for placements at a hospital instead so perhaps you could see about doing that as you know you want to do children's nursing? But if not the people I know who got in got in from the ordinary BTEC if your local college don't offer the cadet one.
