At 28 I am considered a mature student - I weep. Will be starting a nursing degree and having just finished work on Friday, the nerves have set in.
Anyone else taking the leap of faith?

Me! I'm 25, and have a 4 year old and a (nearly) 6 year old! I'm doing a joint honours degree (English literature and Sociology). I did an access course last year with a view to doing nursing but came to the conclusion I'd never hack it lol x0

Well you have dealt with vomit, chickenpox and the terrible two's twice. You could probably have hacked nursing.
I think thr age difference will be an adjustment for me, in class with kids who haven't finished puberty! Lol0 -
Me too
I am 32 and starting an English Literature degree on the 24th
I have 4 children from a nearly 12 year old who has just started high school last week, down to a 2 year old. I am expecting things to become very hectic, very soon lol.Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,

Well I expect to see you both on here during thr wee small hours while up finishing course work lol. I will be doing a nightshift probably.0

I hope not, my little ones get up at 6am... I am normally crashed out by 11pm!
My grand plan is to do all my work through the day 9-3! which will allow evenings and weekends free.... (famous last words:p)Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,

If I can advise anything, start your work early, ignore the blowhards, and record audio notes as well as writing notes. V handy for the days when you can't be bothered doing written work or need last minute revision.0

Which uni are you going to and when do you start?
I start on the 24th... I'm itching to get started if I'm honest. Our first week seems like a full week of nothingness though, all cake and tea followed by pub crawls??
So I will be going to register on the 24th.. I want my MONEEEYYYYY.. Then I don't even think I will bother with the rest of the week.Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,

I'm start nursing at UWS next week. I'm terrified now. Live alone so I will continue to work during the course - and as skint as I will be - I'm not giving up my pesto sauces.0
