Is it possible to become a nurse with a fine art degree in the UK ?
Hi everyone, looking for advice or anyone who has had followed a similar path to mine,
I graduated two years ago with a Bsc degree in Fine Art, with a 2:1. I have spent these two years thinking and really trying to better my life. I was a thoughtless kid when I first applied to University, I lost vision of my goals and passions, I did not think through my options clearly and chose a degree on a whim as I just wanted to escape my home. Throughout my degree, I developed a plan after graduation to pursue a masters in Art Psychotherapy. I knew I wanted to work for the NHS and felt as though this was my only option to do that given the course I graduated in.
As I started to thinking clearly, mature and become more sensible - I have come to realise I still have the same career goal as I did as a young girl. This being a nurse for the NHS. I feel slightly defeated and was wondering if anyone else had managed to accomplish becoming a nurse after graduating in a completely unrelated subject? I have read up on possible pathways, though nothing seems to be a perfectly clear route.
I am aware it may take years but I do not want to let it go cold without a fight. Feel free to judge me for my poor 18 year old decision making.
