Gosh! I have sitting here for two days staring at my laptop, in hopes that words will fly onto the screen for me 😂 I managed to get to 2500 character and as soon as i read it back to myself, i cringed and deleted the whole thing. Thats how awful it was 😢
Tried again and Igot stuck, found you on RUclips and wow my thoughts are flowing onto the page and even got past 3000 count and I still have so much to say! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Hi this video is so helpful thank you. I just wanted to ask if you think its worth applying for nursing without any healthcare related job experience - i have a part time waitressing job but thats about it.

[@carolforde-johnston]

Thank you Celine, yes it is definitely worth applying and any work in customer service like waitressing is great. You'll have lots of transferable skills e.g. communicating with a range of people from different background, dealing with challenges and working under pressure. As long as you get across why you want to be a nurse & do some background research. Watch my video on preparing for University Nursing Degree Interview that may help. If you apply for an apprenticeship they may stipulate prior experience in healthcare, like nursing assistant, but Unis don't usually for pre-reg level 6 nursing degree to become a registered nurse. If you are unsure whether to commit to nursing it is worth getting a healthcare assistant role though, even for just a few months so you know. Wishing you the best with your application. 😊🍀
