A friend of mine is an RNLD which she did through project 2000, she is employed by the NHS and during supervision she stated that there was a valid need for her to be dual trained in mental health. she was seconded to do an 18 month conversion. i dont know how you go about applying directly through the university if you haven't got the opportunity to be seconded. Although i do know of an RGN who did a part time conversion to RNLD but dont know how he was funded

you wait til the end of the 3rd year you have nowt to do for months then all of a sudden you have 3 essays n a presentation to do!!! i'm not trying to put you off or owt. i dunno if they do that on purpose just to see how you handle the stress!!! but i dont do stress n i've got a dam site more grey hairs than i did in the begginning of the 3rd year!!lol

Anglia ruskin university..... terrible place to study how do i know!!?? ive been here over 2 years now. last 4 months before i finish and become RNLD. i know loads of student nurses and they all say the same! unorganised, ibl facilitators you'll be lucky to find a decent one, lectures you'll spend half the time waiting for them! a third of your time wondering where they are and the other third wondering why your there! Nobody knows wots happening, you are never infomed about anything until the last minute if at all. you are told its further education, treated like adults its all your responsibility until it suits the university then its all taken back and your treated like children!! apart from all this i love the place! well i love being a student, just dont like the essays!
