What subjects should I do at A-level to get into university for adult nursing??
I was thinking Life and health sciences and health and social care or Life and health sciences and psychology, What do you think I need opinions

Looks at a range of uni entry requirements. If you have any ideas on where you might want to go to uni specifically (local options maybe) then make sure to check those. See what subjects are required, preferred and which aren’t accepted. If some subjects are commonly required then take those unless you have a strong objection to them for whatever reason, in which case consider if the degree is right for you. If a subject is often preferred and you enjoy the subject then it’s a strong choice. Other than that take subjects which you enjoy and think you can do well at 🙂

As already mentioned, look at university entry requirements for places you might like to study.
For nursing:
•
Some universities ask for 3 A levels including biology.
•
Some universities ask for 3 A levels including one of biology, chemistry, psychology, sociology, health and social care, applied science.
•
Some universities just ask for 3 A levels.

like someone else has already said, it depends on the uni! most unis only require you to have a social science but some may require you to have a science like biology. that being said tho, my friend got into 4/5 of her unis without doing biology so if you dont want to do biology then thats really okay. however, they do require you to have grades in science at GCSE!
