Getting into nursing school is not easy. However, if you work hard and are patient you will be rewarded. Never give up.

I did the CXCs and did great on all 8 subjects but never actually stayed in Jamaica to finish the A levels (GCE, as we call it). Im sure you will do great... Id recommend your usual Sciences (bio, chem), Psych, Math (stats, if you can) and another of your choice.
Im still finishing up my BSN in the US and would have been done if I stayed in JA but I do work in the hospital. So far, Im liking it. As you said, try to get some volunteering done and/or shadow a midwife... You will be fine
