A career in nursing

Hi
I would really appreciate some advice on what nursing course to do in University in the UK. I originally wanted to do midwifery but have realised it was a really competitive course to get into. I know i want to do a career in healthcare but i know i wont get the grades to be a doctor so i would really appreciate any advice in what kind of nursing course to do in uni.

You have a choice of adult, children's, learning disability or mental health nursing so choose the course that appeals to you. There is more information on the NHS website:

There are also the Allied Health Professions to consider:
