Living in Halls (partner + child at home)

wrong you can. its mainly aimed at employed healthcare assistants/auxiiliary nurses however for a really good student the health board/ trust can start them off as a employee and then get them on the course.
the ou is a recongised training provider by the nmc for both pre and post nurse training.

is an example but its run over the entire uk

hope that clears that up.

however as we don't know what the course that the op is wanting to do it really does not help. it would just be a shame if she had to travel all that way if there was a more local salution for her training needs.

I assumed he had guessed those subjects as the OP mentioned practical elements and they are well known for being practice placement heavy.

OP, I don't want to sound judgemental at all, but I do think you and your child will miss each other and miss out on each other even if its only 3 or 4 nights a week. I would say this if you were male too. If the course will be of great benefit to your family in the long run then I think it would be better for your husband to try to find a job where you can go to uni so you can stay as a family. Of course, this is easier said than done, but September 2012 is a long way off.

I can't guarantee you'll hate living in halls, but if you're older than about 23 I'd put seriously good money on it. Halls are full of 18 year olds away from home for the first time. They're noisy, they're dirty, they're up at all hours, they don't know how to resolve their disagreements properly yet and for some reason they like to set fire alarms off at hourly intervals through the night so you all have to traipse out in your PJs constantly. Halls are great when you're 18/19/20, away from home and amongst your peers. Anybody who appreciates a good night's sleep and a clean sink would be better elsewhere!

were have i stereotyped the op. those three are the one i know of. there is also law, accountancy and probably more if i could be bothered looking.
i must be really sexist i have just seen my second daughter off to uni to study engineering. my son fancies a cooking course. and another daughter wants to farm. I supported the wife when she decided to do the nurse training course after the youngest kid went to school. so in fact i ended up running the house caring for the kids and doing my job so i reject your claim. I also know how hard it will be for the op and her family.
