Adult nursing blended

Looking at a career change from teaching to adult nursing. I have children and wondered what the placements would be like studying the blended learning BSC in adult nursing. I am also looking into funding options too as need to have an income in terms of bursary and maintenance loan any help would be appreciated from students in a similar situation.

In terms of funding, you should be able to apply for student finance for tuition fee and maintenance loans, and you might be eligible for the Parents' Learning Allowance. If you plan to study at a uni in England, then you would also be able to apply to the NHS Learning Support Fund (not bursary) for the annual training grant (currently £5,000 per yr), parental support (£2,000) and claim back excess travel/accommodation costs associated with placements.
