making up hours- you may be interested

Published

Specializes in renal,peritoneal dialysis, medicine.

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

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

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.
