Hi,
I've been offered a place at KCL for grad-entry nursing, but for the last year leading up to my application and working as a HCA, I have medicine in the back of my mind.
I don't know whether it's a case of grassisgreeneritis or not, but I feel genuinely stuck about what to do as I feel it's a great achievement to have this offer at King's in the first place. Although I love patient contact that comes with nursing, I often feel more drawn to the medical side of things (diagnosing, interpreting test results etc) but I know if I wanted that I could also go down the NP route down the line.
Is there anyone else who has or had an offer for nursing but turned it down at the 11th hour to study medicine instead? My degree is humanities based (as are A Levels) and if I did choose medicine, I'd look into an access course and apply for GEM 2017.
Or should I go ahead with nursing, and, if once I qualify still feel the draw to medicine, apply for med school then?
Sorry for the ramble, would just be helpful to hear thoughts from others who might have been where I am now!
