Thanks for the advice.

Am going to make a meeting with student services and see what happens here's hoping they can help Have looked into it a fair bit and english students get help with 70% of the childcare so still trying to see if they do the same in scotland

I dont believe that the kids need all of our time at the moment they still get a lot of attention and any free time is spent with them and the same will happen when at uni we're just hoping we'll both be qualified in the 3 years and have a decent income provide them with a great lifestyle and spend a lot more time with them doing stuff they want to do when there that age

I may be talking out of my butt here :rolleyes: , but do nursing students in England pay fees? Perhaps not?

There must be some reason why we get childcare help down here and you don't in Scotland.

I know nursing is different to academic degrees, but if everything else is the same for nursing courses, it seems a bit odd that the childcare help isn't.

How about one of you deferring for a year, possibly not the one who does a flexible pathway (if you're concerned with fairness, anyway, only an issue for some people, others aren't bothered).

Being in different years should mean that at least some of your lectures and placement dates will be different, if not the majority. That could make a huge difference. It would make a difference with coursework pressure too, as you wouldn't be doing finals and other very high pressure stuff simultaneously, something I'd be wary of. Do be careful you don't underestimate how demanding some of the work will be with young children in tow.
good luck, jay
