I am 23 and will be studying towards an access course in Health Care in September. I have been working in health care since April and have done home care and am currently working in a dementia centre as a Health Care Assistant. I had originally wanted to apply for Mental Health Nursing in order to work with children & adolescents but I am enjoying the clinical care aspect of my job and have started to look into paediatric nursing a bit more and have realised that Children's Nursing is the degree I really want to do. I am now worried that I won't stand a chance of getting an interview as I do not have any work experience that directly involves children. Has anyone managed to get onto a Children's Nursing degree without childcare experience?
