Oh right, im happy with a BSc Hons...
I did look at the nursing masters but then realised that you have to do A2 Biology,
whereas I have only started biology this year as an AS!

Hello anna_spanner89.I believe that Nottingham is the only university in the country that offer a Masters in Nursing.They also offer the Bsc(hons)Option as well.I will asked them that next week when i go.I have also now been shortlisted for Worcester woo :woo:

Still have to hear off from a few others now.

...And now the University of Central Lancashire do the masters degree too :smile:

I've heard nothing from Kings yet.. :frown:

Cardiff offered me an interview but I didn't send the reply slip back saying I would attend as I decided I didn't want to go there after all.

Confirmation of receipt of application from LJMU.

Unconditional offers to Sheffield hallam & Leeds met. :biggrin:

Okay...i have a dilemma

After umming and ahhing for a while between nursing and midwifery to do at uni, I chose to adult nursing...
then i went for a tour around a maternity unit today and realised that i think i could be making a mistake
as i want to do midwifery...
now im really confused
and my ucas has to be sent off by monday, but i reckon i could get a one week extension

i thought i would ask for advice on here...so opinions please fellow nurses/midwives to be!!!!! (and fast if possible!) :smile:

It's totally up to you, your just going to have to decide pretty quickly i'm afraid.
If your gut instinct now is to go with midwifery, then i would say change the ucas and do it.
you'd only regret going to uni for something that you didn't enjoy and would wish you had done it.
