Postgradute adult nursing finance

33 Posts
Hi,
I have applied to study a postgraduate diploma in adult nursing in London. I was looking for some advice from anyone who has done this postgraduate course or similar one with how they coped financially. the tuition fees will be covered by the nhs bursary & there is a maintenance grant available, (I need to find out more info about this). I am concerned about living costs and whether i'll be able to cope financially over the 2 yrs of the course with rent etc.
I am 32 and nursing is a career is something I have considered for a long time, I am currently doing an admin job in the nhs where I am not v happy, I feel I need more of a purpose to life, more fulfillment and job satisfaction, life is short after all.
Anyone have any advice, done anything similar? what was your experience on a course like this? Thanks
