Even more things I didn't know before I started my nursing degree!

[@FA-ki7py]

Thank you so much for your videos, they've been helpful during my application and interview process. I had my interview last Weds and got my offers on Friday.

[@MariaAvi]

Congratulations, thanks for watching! Do you have anymore interviews?

[@andreadawkins6221]

Thank you so much for this info! I didn’t managed to finished my studies due to family commitments. I had fully completed my 1st yr, but was hoping to go into something else probably health and social care bsc! My biggest fear of Nursing was drugs calculations🙈so am scared to go back!

[@MariaAvi]

I'm glad to hear that you'll be transitioning back. When you left the nursing degree after 1st year, did you leave with any qualification?
Drug calculations are easier than you think!

[@andreadawkins6221]

Hey hun!
I was sent a final transcript, the qualification obtain was certificate of higher education🤔!

Hi. All your videos are enlightening and really helpful. I am an international student looking at studying Nursing(Adult) next year. I am happy I saw this video. May I know the university you studied at. I will take my time to watch all the videos on your channel. Thanks.

Hi, MH student nurse here in first year. I’m not entirely sure if I want to stay in MH because I quite like the physical aspects, but I also don’t want to stay exclusively in adult nursing purely for the physical conditions as I do have an interest in mental health if that makes sense 😅. I know there’s quite a few jobs within MH nursing where there is quite a lot of general nursing (ECT for example) and I was thinking of going into those kind of areas once I qualify. I can also get a second registration in adult nursing if I wanted to. Basically , I’m torn between the two fields. Do you think I should stay within MH or switch after the first year to adult? Thank you so much, I love your videos, they’ve helped so much in my assignments.

Based on what you have said I would remain in the mental health branch. Chances are, If you switch into the adult branch you will have the same dilemma (just the other way round). Like you said, you can always get a second registration if you want to. Thanks for watching my videos

How long did it fully take untill you qualified??

[@MariaAvi]

As soon as I got my NMC pin, so a matter of weeks.
As soon as you finish your nursing degree, you will need to apply for your NMC pin. As soon as your pin comes through you are fully registered and able to work as a registered nurse.
