    Hi, I love your channel and all your videos are so helpful. Just a quick question, how much did you remember from the access course or how much did you revise? I guess you do learn everything in the first year about fisiólogo but how much do you need to know. Thanks

    • @ClaireCarmichael

      Kristyna Gabrielova We didn’t have any exams where I was. It was all assignments, so I didn’t really revise anything 😂 I was that person back then who learnt what I needed to, to pass the course 🙈 which why I had to learn it all again at uni 5 years later 🙈 x

    • @ClaireCarmichael
      @ClaireCarmichael  Před 4 lety

      Ceri S I did a video about maths and drug calculations :) have a look. But every university is different in the questions they ask and what they ask. So it’s better to find out what your university does. There’s loads online if you have a google of ‘drug calculations’ the RCN and NMC both have stuff for you :) take a look. X

    Hi Claire, I currently work in a Homecare service Agency as Care assistant and I am interested in becoming a Qualified Nurse as my Career.
    I hold a Level 2 Extended diploma in Health and social care, I have fews years work experience as a Home care worker, also I hold a functional skills math level 2 and functional skills English level 2 qualifications. 1) Can I do a Nursing Degree with open University with this qualifications or go University with this Qualifications?
    2) what is the best route for me 2 become a qualified Nurse at age of 33?
    3) Can I do a course in open university online Nursing Degree without doing a Access to Nursing Course.
    3) Do you get paid doing placements in the hospital while doing your Nursing Degree in university?

    • @ClaireCarmichael
      @ClaireCarmichael  Před 2 lety

      Hey! The access course was a diploma, so I’m assuming you’d be ok with your diploma? :) best thing to do is call the uni or open university you’re applying to and ask them if those qualifications are ok? Because every uni has a different criteria to be honest. So best to check with them :)
      Placements aren’t paid sadly. They never have been. But if you went through uni you’ll get a £5,000 grant per year for nursing and you’ll get the student loan. Which helps a bit 😅
      You can also do an apprenticeship, or the nursing associate route which are both paid roles. So it depends on your circumstances and what you can afford to be honest rather than age related :) we had loads of student in my year over 50 and they managed really well xx
