Redoing 2 years of child nursing

I did not pass one of my module, therefore did graduate but was not able to become a RN. The universities have said I can only rejoin 2nd year, as students can’t join the course half way through the year but only the start. Meaning I need to do 2 years of nursing again to become registered. I’m still passionate about nursing, but I’m stuck on what to do. Is it worth studying 2 years again, keeping student finance in mind as I can only get one more year of that.

It's worth it if you want to become a nurse and that is your only option. Have you considered a pre-reg masters course instead? That way should be able to apply for funding for both years. Teeside offer a 2-yr pre-reg course:
