You need to apply for what you are passionate in otherwise you wouldn’t succeed. I did an ordinary degree so yes what other have said, the holidays and breaks are different in nursing. However, it’s not as bad as you’d think! You do still get holidays and the years fly by so quickly, you blink and you’ve done a year. I’m just finishing up second year of Learning Disability Nursing, best move I made. There are plenty of people in my cohort that were fresh out of college and saw some things that they had not experienced before. But in saying that, I graduated from my first degree and went straight into care, so I had a good amount of experience and I’ve still had to face new challenges etc. That’s why it’s so important to choose the right course for you
