A big thank you to everyone who has kindly offered their advice to me here. I am enormously grateful to everyone who has looked to help me here
I'm the kind of person who tends to lack confidence in myself and I don't tend to have much faith in my capabilities or what I have done so far, so what might seem obvious to you is not always obvious to me.
I am looking to contact admissions for both Queen's University Belfast and Birmingham City University on Monday (I've been fighting for time this week and have only just gotten round to assessing the situation at hand in regards to potentially doing an Open University Course and I tried to contact them today, but was unable to speak to anyone)
If they tell me that my current qualifications alongside a K101 (An introduction to health and social care) Open University course would be acceptable for entry, I will go ahead and apply for that (which starts on 06 Feb 2016 and ends September 2016 - just in time for when my Nursing BSc would be starting) and attempt to apply for those two Unis, alongside Kings College London and Kingston University (two other London universities I was hoping to apply for originally) alongside a 5th one that I am currently undecided upon.
Sorry if it all seems unnecessary for me to tell any of you this, but I feel that it helps solidify things in my mind if I announce it publicly (AKA the whole, "It's announced, it's in the programme", effect
) and helps me to focus on what I want to do, before I let myself forget it!
It would be a big struggle for me to do this financially right now, but I should be able to just about barely do this if it ends up working out as I am hoping. To tell the truth, I'm still very scared about everything I'm doing here, but I am willing to face that fear and go for it!
