General Nursing/post grad

Annel349

i applied to the CAO for general nursing and im worried of NOT getting the points and was just wondering if i do get offered ID nursing for example (which i also applied for) is there any post grads available after qualifying as a ID nurse, to be eligible to work as a general nurse. i tried talking to my career guidance teacher and she simply told me id be better of repeating if that happened/and didnt answer the question :rolleyes: so id really appreciate if anyone could tell me anything

Im not 100% sure about how it works going from ID to general. But If you start off with general as your base, you can do an 18th month course to branch off into specialist areas such as psychiatric or ID, as far as i'm aware. Sorry i'm not much help, but thats all I know!

oh ya thats what i thought thanks as far as ive found out since you can do a post grad in england but when you do this post grad it only qualifies you to work in certain hospitals accross Europe, that might not be right but its all i know
