Hi there . . .

if i were you i would try to swap those four weeks on learning disability placement to a maternity placement if you can.

unfortunately its very common for newly qualified students not to fulfill the criteria but sometimes there are ways around it, i think some places offer extra certified courses, for which there is a link on this forum somewhere.

have you done any problem based learning on the 3 areas silverdragon talked about as this can sometimes be put as theory hours on your nursing school transcript, this may make all the difference.

good luck, its a long hard journey, but well worth it im told:)

You a lot of RN's over here-do just 2 years nursing to be a Registered nurse have to do lots of pre-requists which is theory based before they get on the training courses.

I met a nurse who just finished and she had done no med/surg nursing and did 3 weeks on a med surg floor to qualify.
