Yes nursing (and allied health profession) courses are exception courses - so you would be eligible for both tuition fee and maintenance loans for the duration of the new course despite your previous study.

Log in to your SFE account during office hours Monday to Friday and use the live chat function to raise your query. If you can give the name of the uni and the course, then ask if it is on the list of exception courses.
