Nursing in Cambridge Uni!!???

Francine checked the website and emailed homerton school of health studies to confirm if they really are doing that Nursing thingy.....she said thank you very much...she can't wait to get into a good uni.... **duh**
she's also considering going to nottingham, although her 1st choices are cambridge + oxford **woooooooo** :P

Just to point out, you can't apply to both Oxford and Cambridge if it's your first degree.

Yes, but I'm a bit bemused by where the nursing degree at the cambridge college comes from if it isn't cambridge?

I know it's housed at Homerton College, but I thought it had closer links to APU????

This is not meant to be offensive, but if you want reputation/prestige, why the hell would you do a nursing degree? Like people have said, of course Oxbridge doesn't offer the courses, they're not considered academic and subsequently will not lend themselves to being taught there. It begs the question why someone wanting to do nursing at Oxbridge wouldn't rather do medicine.

When it comes to picking unis for vocational courses I'd say you should look at the course NOT the uni as the make up of the course can vary widely and you're better off getting yourself onto a course that you will personally get the most out of. I doubt what uni you went to is that important in getting a nursing job since 1) the country is crying out for nurses and 2) the skills you actually learnt on the course (I would imagine courses with a more practical emphasis would be best for this) are far more desirable than the reputation attached to your uni.

What are you saying about nurses?

My best friend from school was always a straight A student - she's a nurse. She thought about medicine, but wanted a more caring career!

I obviously didn't mean anything against nurses, I think people who manage to devote themselves to something like that are amazing. Doesn't change what I said though.
