If you want to do a nursing degree, then an Access to Higher Education Diploma in something like Health and Social Care, Nursing and Midwifery, or Science would be better as it is the equivalent of three A levels. The NVQ level 3 is only equivalent to two A levels, so would not be enough to meet the entry requirements of degree courses.
