I did the course last year and passed it. Its a very good course, there's a work placement module on it that requires you to do up to 240 hours work experience.

Not too sure on what the pre course placement is about, i presume its just a interview type thing, to see what you know about the course and why you want to do it. Just research it a bit, know what it entails etc.

There are a lot of options available for entry onto third level, and Nursing is one along with Social Care. The Nursing requires min 5 distinctions, and in certain modules such as Anatomy & physiology etc!

I don't think a pass is good enough to go on to third level, you would need distinctions.
