Yes the UK

I'm a 2nd year nursing student in London. After my placement experience at a hospital, I have no interest in working as a bedside nurse. I want to go into outpatient nursing straight away. The number of options for outpatient nursing is quite limited compared to bedside nursing. Additionally, most outpatient nurse roles ask for 6 months-12 months of experience as a (bedside or outpatient) nurse. I could still apply regardless. Although it is possible to get the outpatient job asking for experience without the experience, I don’t know how likely it is if other nurses with 20+ years of experience are applying for the same job. During the interview, they might ask tricky questions so I have to do well the interview. Is outpatient nursing more competitive? I am thinking of dropping out of my degree if I won't able to find a job as an outpatient nurse. Does anyone have experience applying for outpatient nurse roles as a new grad??? Thank you.
