Thanks so much for your replies

What you've said has definitely helped and it's confirmed the 'ideas' I had about nursing. I just wanted to check for real and not just hear the glam stuff that the uni courses advertise.

I do like the fact that you can work shifts and as often/as little as you like. When I have kids one day, this will be nice to know I would be able to fit everything in. It is definitely good to know that there are so many opportunites and career paths in nursing, more than I realised.

I think it is something I would definitely love to do. I just have to take the plunge and go for it
