I posted a Q a few weeks back about changing career. Currently a hairdresser but have always wanted to be a nurse. Being a single mum I was a bit daunted about going to uni, lack of money & walking away from the security of my current job. Got lots of positive & encouraging answers from here which was great.
A few years back I worked as a care assistant in a nursing home. I had a chat with my old boss who offered me my job back & told me the company run a scheme where if I work as a care assistant for 1 year they will then sponsor me to train as a nurse. I'd have to work as a nurse for them for 2 years after qualification but I'm happy with that. A few people did mention that it's hard to get a job within the NHS after qualifying so I'm happy to do it this way.
My family are really pleased that I'm taking this first step towards my dream & so am I! So a big thank you to everyone who gave me encouragement.
