“The Nursing Studies course has been exactly what I needed. I am a mature student and last year I decided to go back to a career I once worked in but needed a QQI Level 5 to get back into nursing. Itis a great course that gives you options when completed – I would recommend taking this course if you are interested in a career in healthcare or if you want to pursue a career in Nursing. Grateful for the opportunity and looking forward to the next part of my journey!”
