Auxillary nursing

hi im new been considering nursing for a while now but unsure about how to go about it??
i havent any qualifications apart from a few GCSE's and i'm married with kids and am afraid that lack of money may mean i have to pull out of any training!!any ideas would be great i've heard about auxillary nursing but was told by another that it wasnt available any more??please any help would be gratefully taken into action!!

Kev,

You do so much already to support and partake in the drugs trials like you do!! I am very aware that you wish to start your nursing in February and I feel that you will acomplish this when you are fit and ready!

I know you are an active viewer of at least three nursing sites and all I say to you is this:

Be yourself and remember why you wish to be a nurse, it is not an easy road and there is much learning to be done! your health and family come first and you need to make sure these are prioroties in your life!

You will get a bursary of approximately £534 pounds per month if you choose the diploma and less for doing the degree. Don't quote me on this as I am not sure as the exact amount

You have a load of net friends here to help you and I advise you if you decide to take up nursing and I hope you do as you have shown both empathy, mature and sensable debate and honesty in your posts both in here and student-nurse and also NurseGateway!!!

I do hope you re-gain your health after being the guinea pig for science and start doing what I think what you will be best at and that is a nurse!

I will talk to you when you feel better and have a great christmas period and you rest and take care Kev!

another way round it have you thought of contacting the open uni to see if you can gain a nursing qualification while you work...... if you earn under 15500 you can qualify for a grant so you dont have to pay anything.

dont know for sure on this as i am unable to do my nurse training due to health problems but am doing a degree through the open uni while i work.

Go to www.open.ac and login

kev, I was a bit confused as I knew you had told me you were starting your nursing, It was the football pik and everything else was the same except the v, Oh well made me laugh, sorry kez21

You can only undertake this form of training to be a reg nurse if you are already employed by a trust as a hca and have had one or two years experience, you would also need qualifications to get onto the course minimum of 5 GCSEs or equivelent plus Maths and english.

Dear Board I need help and Advice

My Name is Oluwasanmi Adewunmi Akinbade, I am a Nigerian and I currently reside in Ghana.

I have a very little Private business that I operate and I have been trying to attend a nursing School for sometime now but because of the structure of the Economy and work I cannot seem to Run my business and go to the Nursing School as the fees is About $500 per semester for 3 years.
