Advantages: A sense you have achieved something Disadvantages: A sense you could have achieved more if it weren't for all the bloody bearaucracy
I am writing this opinion for any of you reading this who are considering a career in nursing.
I started my nurse education (they don't call it training anymore, although I had a few lecturers who resembled the late Barbara Woodhouse), in 1993, as green as the proverbial grass, and as keen as a jar of colmans dijonnaise.
I was one of the 'guinea pigs' of the new style nurse education, and embarked on a 3 year diploma in Adult Nursing.
After spending an arduous year (yeah right), at university, studying all manner of things (we once spent a whole lesson on how many different words we could come up with for male and female genitalia!!!), we were let loose on the wards in our starched white uniforms with collars even Biggles would have been green with envy of.
One of the first sights I was greeted with was an elderly lady ...
Nursing Studies- Glasgow Caledonian University.
This is a 4 year course and is no way for the faint-hearted. Before I go into the details of the curriculum it is important to note that Nursing is a vocation and you really have to be the right kind of person to be able to see the course through.

London South Bank University is one of the oldest universities in London. It has three campuses, one in Southwark, one in Harold Wood and one in Whipps Cross, though as far as I am aware, Harold Wood and Whipps Cross campus are only used for faculty of health and social care.
I chose London South Bank, mainly, because I did not have a choice! I had always wanted to do adult nursing but left school with no GCSE's so i took a cadet nursing course at LSBU and gained an NVQ level 2 with some extra credits, this meant I had to stay on at LSBU to do my adult nursing. I started Adult Nursing on March 2008 but have been at LSBU since September 2007 due to the cadet nursing before I moved onto the nursing course to gain a degree.
So I currently attend the Harold Wood campus and am doing adult branch nursing. I am currently off with a lot ...
