You could finish your bachelors and apply for a 2 year masters in adult/Mh which is funded by the nhs, thats exactly what im doing, you usually need a 2:1/2:2 in Your bachelors and at least 500 hrs of clinical experience working as a health care assistant, or health related roles. I have offers from City University of London and Manchester Metropolitan University to start my MSc in Adult Nursing in september
Hey there, I graduated last year with a bachelors in Psychology and was thinking of doing a masters in nursing. Did you have to have completed the 500 hours before you applied?? I'm undecided on whether I'm capable of doing a 2 years master without much of science background or whether I should do another bsc bachelors.. however the latter option makes me feel like I'm going backwards!!

Yes you do need 500 hours of care work minimum before you start. For example, the University of Birmingham requires this after an offer has been made. This is required as part of your portfolio. Alternatively, you can do the same thing with Radiography but 500 hours is not required. The University of Derby offers a 2 year MSc to become a Radiographer if you are interested.
Hi I have an interview coming up soon for post-graduate adult nursing. I have a degree in Psychology. I am very nervous as I am not very in interviews. Any help would be much appreciated.
