making up hours- you may be interested

great news, surprised it has taken this long to do something, will probably cost but better than having to travel abraod to get it done

well its bound to be a money spinner cant think of another reason for the uni to do it :)

You might want to stickie this info for those nurses yet to come.

thats excellent news Claire

might get the chance to work in Canada after all and have a broader nursing background.

thanks for the info

your wish is my command

Actually good idea as many students or newly qualfied nurses hit problems when wanting to move abroad as they don't meet hours.

Some contact details may be also of use

Aha, was looking for this thread as its the most promising lead for making up hours I've seen so far.

Thanks

hopefully EN is going to get a bit more information for us :)

Great, I was going to say keep us posted but was in a haste to reply!:nuke:. I am also following some leads here in OZ, but that would mean distance learning and I"m not sure if that is sufficient.

I have spoken to Staffordshire University today on behalf of a friend as she was wanting to obtain her transcripts, the chap i spoke to told me that they are starting to offer post graduate courses for people who didnt get the hours in maternity, mental health and childrens nursing, which could be good news for anyone short on hours.

He said it was in answer to growing demand!!!

I suppose it could be due to the job freeze in NHS trusts

anyway.. just thought i would share

Thank you so much. Brighton University offers this course as well but I was told it will be around £500 will wait to find out how staffordshire is going to be charging. Another uni that offers the course is Otago in New zealand it's distance learning about £300. have used them there are good

the thing you have to be careful about if making hours up for another country they may prefer both theory and practical applications done together. If distant learning may be very hard to organise the practical and will need signing off by a recognised body ie uni or school of nursing
