Can someone help me on how to become a nurse/midwife?

We Answered:

You need to get GCSE's in Maths and English (either language or literature) at grade A*-C to get onto the Access course. Most universities will not accept BTEC or any Level 3 Health and Social care anymore, seeing as they are sacking the Nursing Diploma this year.

I am starting an Access programme which is one A level (Biology) and another A level in Health Studies in September. I wanted to do the BTEC but when I enquired at my city university, they said they would not accept that onto the Nursing Degree course because they would rather you have A levels. The access programme is usually only for those aged 19+, but if you are wanting to do the Nursing Degree, you should opt for 2-3 A levels.

I would advise you to get A*-C in GCSE Maths and one English. Go to college in September to study 2 A levels in Biology and English. Then, apply for a 3 year Nursing degree in university once you have completed your A levels.

EDIT: You need to go to university to study to become a nurse or midwife. There is no other option. But, they give you a bursary and will pay you for work when you are working in the hospitals.

@Mama- she is clearly from the UK because she's leaving school at 16 years old and has taken GCSEs

Can you help me with my resume?

We Answered:

It looks very good (be sure to bold headings, of course)! You have all the necessary information and from an employer's point of view, your experience looks good.

I would use some caution posting personal information like this online in such a public forum because of the unfortunate fact that some people collect information like this for less than helpful purposes!

You might have already considered that.
