Nursing Studies DIFE

Hi! I'm currently on a pre nursing course myself, you need to aim for 8 distinctions ( 3 of those including human growth and development, anatomy & physiology, and nursing theory and practice. ) it's very difficult to get into a university in Ireland, which in my eyes isn't fair for the fetac students that do work hard on their course but that's the system for ya! They usually advise pre nurses to go to the UK as there is better chances to getting a place over there, just bare in mind you need at least a C3 In maths and English in your leaving cert too. On my course they have maths level 5 as an optional for people who didn't achieve the C3 in the leaving and I heard DIFE has that option too. I've heard the teachers in DIFE are very dedicated and hard working, DIFE is also a lovely modern college. Also, the nursing studies qualification can lead to employment straight after as a healthcare assistant! It's a hard course tho, I advise don't apply unless you are really considering wanting to become a nurse, as these courses are very over subscribed and many people want them so it wouldn't be fair if say you were only doing it for the sake of it! It's difficult but worth it in the long run. Anything else you would like to know i'll answer did you get into DIFE?
