Doing an access course for a second undergraduate degree in midwifery

Hello!

I'm in my second year studying creative writing. However, I've really lost my passion for writing whilst studying the subject as the course bores me, and I can't honestly see myself pursuing a career in an arts-related field.

When I was younger it was my ambition to pursue a healthcare career and this is something I repeatedly come back to. My dream would be to study a bachelors in midwifery at a university near my home town, but I might be required to do an access course in health to do so. My A Level subjects are relevant to midwifery and nursing but I didn't get the grades; as my university offered me an unconditional offer and there was a lot going on in my personal and home life at the time, I slacked on my studying at sixth form. If only I could turn back time and give 17-year-old me a good slap lol.

What I would like to know is if anyone on here has gone down a similar path and could share any advice. Part of me wants to drop out, but at this point it seems like I might as well carry on as this time next year I will be more or less done with it. On one hand it is another year of student debt, on the other hand I don't want to feel like the last two years were for nothing.

If anyone here has done an unrelated first degree before going on to do a second undergraduate level degree in healthcare I would love to hear about your experience and the route you took to getting onto your second degree course.
