Have you applied again to nursing?
Your options are that you complete the degree then apply, apply each year and then drop out of your course and into nursing should you get accepted. Drop out now and work and keep applying.
It all depends on what you really want to do and where your passion lies.
I would recommend keep applying and get some experience. Did you receive feedback on your application last time and why you were unsuccessful?

Yes I did I need more experience ... Obviously you only get 4 years of funding and if I finish this course I'll only have a year left of funding so I don't really know what to do as I need to keep at this course as j never got the grades to get into nursing

Are you using student loans to pay the fees for your current degree?
The NHS pays the fees for any NHS course including nursing.
Depending on where you are ordinarily resident and where you go to university you can get a reduced maintenance loan. This is unaffected by any previous loan for a degree that isn't NHS funded.
And I would recommend working part time to gain experience and use this to apply again for nursing if that is really what you want to do.
