01 November 2011

My interview was successful, however, the course will be for a masters degree rather than a post grad course. I'm a bit nervous about this but I'm gonna give it a shot as there's no point giving in before I've even tried it.

I've started my 3rd year degree modules so I guess my next blog will be to post my degree mark (hopefully a 2:1) then I'll be about ready to start my nursing course again.

A new chance?

It's been a while since I made the heart breaking decision to leave my nursing course.

My son has received a diagnosis of ADHD and mild autism. I wasn't expecting this as he didn't seem to meet all of the criteria, still, it's good to know what difficulties he's been facing and why so we can now support his needs better.

Since I left my nursing course I've been volunteering, in my local children's centre and also as a health trainer, sign posting people to better health. Oh, I've also been studying towards a BA(hons)degree in childhood and Youth studies. if I get a 2:2 or better I can join a post graduate nursing course back at my university.

I have an interview for this on Monday and an exam to finalise my second year modules the following Friday :O. I begin my third year modules on Monday, the first one being a children's literature course.
