I’ve been considering a nursing career for a long time but have little ‘care’ experience to shout about on my ucas form (ucas is the uk university applications service) and I don’t know what my best course of action should really be. I’ve begun applying for care assistant work but I’d ideally like to do nursing auxillary/assistant work however I understand that it’s difficult to even get an interview for most positions going! So are there any student nurses (esp mature students) who can give me a few pointers out there? How did you get into it and what can I do to increase my chances of successful application?? Thanks in advance for your help!

How about applying for the nursing degree? If you are able to make an appointment with the dean or assistant dean, please bring all your credentials. Please explain to the dean/ asst. dean that it has been your lifelong dream to become one (do elaborate). Also, point out that you have your maturity to bring into your practice, that you can look at the situation differently outside the classroom setting (it helps if you can give examples of this).
Good luck.
