Applying For Nursing through another route

Paul.M92

I am interested in nursing as a career but as far as it goes, I don't have any science subjects for my leaving cert. I do know that you can do nursing studies PLC course (as there is one in my local area), but when I'm finished that, can I go on to study nursing in a university????? I was hoping that I could find out if any other people have gone into nursing this way. Any help would be appreaciated greatly as I want to have some information before I arrange an apointment with my career guidence teacher...

I know of one PLC course that has direct links with nursing at DCU. You need to get distinctions in all your subjects and then you are eligible for a place on the course.

I don't know where you are based but here it the one I'm thinking of. http://www.colaistedhulaigh.ie/full-time-courses/leisure-tourism-and-social-care/health-science.php

Also, DCU has a good rep for nursing.
