Nursing in Cambridge Uni!!???

Most of the better health care degrees are offered by the old polys - in the old days of University and Polytechnic education, unis wouldn't touch vocational degrees (except medicine and law) with a bargepole, hence the ex-poly courses tend to be far better.

Check out Oxford Brookes - it's supposed to have one of the best nursing degrees and diplomas available.

My mum's friends son persuaded her Brookes was an Oxford college - it was fun setting her straight :wink:

so did I.

Who the hell would want to do nursing at cambridge anyway. Cam is an academic university, not vocational.
Much better off going to one of the established nursing places. Nottingham as i recall used to have a great one based i think at grantham. think they knocked it down to make some fancy new houses tho....

I think Nursing is not purely/entirely vocational = practical based learning. This is only 50% of the course. 50% of it is academic= theory-based learning. yay :s-smilie:

The Nursing degree from Hormeton College isn't actually a cambridge degree, and since when did Oxford do nursing? :confused:

As Fluffy said, the good unis academically are not necessarily the better unis for doing vocational courses such as nursing (and yes, I'm aware medicine is vocational as well :smile:
