General Nursing in DCU

delama

I'm starting general nursing in dcu this year as a mature student.
Just trying to get some information on the course, so I wonder if anyone already studying nursing can help?
What are my chances of getting Beaumont over Blanchardstown?
Are the placements 3 long days or 5 short days?
Is there parking available for student nurses at the hospitals?
Whats the class timetable like for 1st year?

I'd appreciate if anyone can help with these questions.
thanks:)

I know you said that you want Beaumont but just thought I would inform you that James Connolly has just recently introduced pay parking - it had been free for countless years.

ok where do i start,

I am a guy in his 30's looking to study nursing next year. I have no degree so no fees but registrations. all good so far yeah!

But I also have 2 kids and a missus and a mortgage. Is it really feasible for someon like me to study the degree money wise?? How do people do it?? I am working as as Care Assistant in a private nursing home and know exactly what response I will get from them if I ask for sponsorship or other assistance e.g. Dont let the door hit your a**e on your way out. They wont even pay for me to study FETAC level 5.

So how do people do it. I am not work shy and I really want this. But can I afford it?? Any ideas?? Anyone?? Do people take out loans to cover mortgage or something?? I know you are paid for your hospital placements in 4th year so its really the first 3 long years on the breadline I am worried about.

HI.

Ive just accepted a place in Children's and General at DCU. I'm looking for information about the college timetable and placements also. I heard that C&G and General are mixed for the first year.
Ive 4 children to arrange childcare for and it would be SOOOOOO helpful to have a rough idea of the hours, days etc.

I'd be SO grateful if anyone could help me out!

Regards.
