I'm not sure what it is that I need really.. Some reassurance and advice I suppose.
In 2005 I enrolled on a Mental Health Nursing course. It was all I'd hoped for... But that August I fell very ill with an eating disorder, severe depression & anxiety, which forced me to leave.
A year or so ago, I reapplied & was told that I could have a place on the course, if they were able to contact my Psychiatrist from the hospital that I was treated as an OP.
The Psych wrote an awful letter & made me out to sound awful, despite having not seen me for 4 years. I didn't go to the occy health appointment because I was so sure they wouldn't let me on the course.
Now I am feeling much better in myself & class myself as recovered but am feeling a bit lost in terms of what to do with my life.
I got a qualification in Admin while trying to figure out what I wanted & have recently been fired from the job I got in admin. I don't find it particularly interesting at all & I've always felt drawn back to nursing in mental health.
I'm so scared that I'll not get on the course (January is the last chance for the diploma & I'm not sure I can afford the degree with new fees.. Nor am I confident in my dissertation skills) & I'm scared that I'll fail!
Is anyone here a nurse or student nurse? I'd love some advice on this.
