It's postponed

Well, after a year out I haven't been able to find another child minder.

My youngest son has some learning difficulties (we are in the process of having him assessed) and so I felt that I couldn't put him in an after school group with 60+ children when he has struggled to settle in his class of 30 children.

So with this in mind I have withdrawn from my place at university.

I plan to re enroll in the future but for now I have decided to pursue a childhood and youth studies degree with the Open University. If I achieve a 2:2 pass or higher I can apply to undertake a shorter, 2 year nursing diploma course. I have also begun to volunteer at my local children's centre, as I know as a nurse I need good communication skills. I believe I can gain these skills running groups at my children's centre.

I wish anyone who is planning to undertake a nursing course and current nurses the best of luck and hope you have a long and fulfilling career

Regards
