As far as the Royal Navy is concerned, applications can generally be considered if you are going to achieve your qualification within the next 9 months, which would mean your final year in practice. It's actually quite a long application process for nursing, as applicants have to sit a specialist Board; for this reason, it makes sense to begin the process in the autumn term of your last year.

You probably come into regular contact with students who are going to be nursing in the Armed Forces, as Birmingham City University is where they do the academic side of becoming a nurse.

Something which you might find helpful might be asking about joining the University Royal Naval Unit in Birmingham. If you do find that you are able to join, you will find it a useful preparation for beginning the application process to join as a Naval Nurse (Qualified) during your third year.
