Yes I believe so because nursing is an allied health profession, see: https://www.healthcareers.nhs.uk/career-planning/study-and-training/considering-or-university/financial-support-university

If you get your funding from SFE, then nursing is an exception course and you would be eligible for undegraduate funding (both tuition fee and maintenance loans). Also, if you study at a uni in England, you would be eligible to apply for the additional training grant from the NHS Learning Support Fund.

diagnostic radiography student here, i have a couple course mates who had post grads and are now doing this course and they got funding. i don't know if its the same for nursing but there's no reason it shouldn't be. Also the NHSLSF funding would defo be given which is £5000 min a year with additionally funding if you are dong a degree that is considered to be in shortage or if you have caring responsibilities.
