I can only speak for the United Kingdom, so if your writing this is America I'm afraid i have no idea how much of this will be applicable!

here in the UK, you can opt to do either a diploma in nursing, or a degree. Both are 3 year courses, the difference betweent he two is that diploma students tend tog et a bigger bursary (don't ask me why) and degree students have to write a dissertation (a massive essay) between 10 - 25000 words long, epepnding on each university.

Although it sounds like their are downsides to doing the degree, the government have just ruled that eventually all nurses will have to have a degree, so if you are thinking of going into nursing, you would be best to study for a degree to save you having to do addtional university time once qualified.

courses are three years long and include a mixture of time in lectures and out on the wards. Each uni tends to have its own programme, i.e, specifying how much time you spend on wards : in class.

Many universities offer nursing courses, so have a look around to see which ones for you. The NHS will pay your tuition fees, regardless of your financial status. They will also pay you a bursary each month (which you do not have to pay back) so you will leave uni with very little debt. ( which is a plus side when nurses earn so little)

Good Luck!
