Hello everyone, I want to go back to nurse training next year but I am facing issues. I started my nurse training in 2004 and left quit 18 months later due to serious issues I was facing at the time. I also failed a module and the university terminated my studies. Now I want to go back and start all over again. I contacted NHS bursaries and they told me if I could find a university that is willing to take me on that I would get sponsored to study nursing again. I contacted some universities and was told that under normal circumstances no university would admitt me but adviced me to write a strong personal statement stating that I have done certain things to make sure that if I face challenges again during my course of study that I would not be affected. I was also adviced that I should say what I have done since I left my studies and choose the words very carefully. I am stuck here! Can someone please help me out? What do I say?, How do I word it? I really want to become a nurse because I enjoy nursing. I've been working as a nurse assistant for 5 years and believe I would be in a better position being a qualified nurse so I do not want to give up!
