Can and should I change course?

1

So I originally planned to do
children's nursing after a while of weighing between the adult and children's courses.
Once I had submitted my UCAS application, it was done, I thought there was no need to think about adult nursing as it couldn't be changed.

However, after my interview at Edge Hill, they believe i'm more suited to adult nursing and have offered it as an alternative course.

I'm now researching further and genuinely considering this option as I somewhat agree and acknowledge that adult nursing has more options. However, I would rather go to a Uni that I commute to. I am not sure if i should attempt to request a change in my application for courses with closer unis that i applied to or how I would go about that process. Does anyone have any advice?

Hi

If you have been offered an alternative course instead of your original one of children nursing then I would definitely consult it seriously.

Adult nursing is a brilliant course to do because you have a lot of different variations of nursing with adult nursing, it's has a large variety of different areas of nursing you can do as a qualified nurse ( you might want to work in say ENT or A&E for example or something like renal ( that's your kidneys side) .
I'm not a adult nurse but have listened to lots of people I know who are adult nurses and they absolutely love it 😄.

Your issue with perhaps changing your application for a closer university might mean you won't get anything especially if they have already allocated the interviews to people and have started offering them places at university and you could miss out going this year.

Phone the admissions departments at the unis you have applied to and ask if you can swap to adult nursing if that is what you prefer.
