Adult nursing or occupational therapy poll and advice

It all depends on what you want to do as a career OP, this isn't a decision that should be based upon a poll on here.

What interests you in each profession, what do you want to do?

I would like to help people.
I would do occupational therapy but the career prospects are not as good as nursing and after university I would like to be able to have a job using my degree than in a job not using it.

The way places are allocated for healthcare courses is such that it is planned upon staffing forecasts, so it is likely you will be able to find employment on registration regardless of which path you choose. With how things are in the NHS there are loads of jobs at the moment and I imagine this will continue for the foreseeable future.

Have you been able to speak to any OTs or nurses? Getting some experience through talking to people doing the job, shadowing or work experience would be useful for you, it will help give you an insight to the roles and will support a future application as well.

I was not aware of this - thankyou
I have spoke to my mum who is a nurse so have a good idea on the roles of each professions.
I am also doing a virtual work experience placement on nursing and occupational therapy so far it has been very informative
