    You might be better off looking at specific courses in Healthcare Support or Special Needs Assistant. The Nursing Studies course focuses very much on nursing itself, and is really a preparation for third level.

    There are so many possibilities once you complete this course! I am half way through the course and it is great! its challenging but once you put your head down it is easy to get through it :) You could go on and work as a care assistant in a nursing home, or work as a special needs assistant, or you could choose to do some more college time and go into the social studies side of nursing :)

    On completion of QQI Level 5 Nursing studies you would be qualified to work as a healthcare assistant/home help, personal assistant or social care worker or you can go further into General Nursing etc.
