Thanks! I don't know what else I can try to make them proud of me!
Perhaps you should consider not trying to please them, and be proud of who you are despite them, you have achieved alot and will achieve your dream and didnt give up, thats something to be proud about. x

DYJHIW your dad is working on the house next door, and you aren't in the door 5 minutes* before he is knocking on, asking if you will call mum for him to come get him at 6:15. This happens every single day. Oh, I tell a lie, I got Sunday off from being a telephone box. Ah, no I didn't.
This is what mobiles phones were invented for, and the reason why both of them own one.
I just want a bit of peace to watch trashy TV with a cuppa before job #2 starts.
*5 minutes may be a slight exaggeration......

Not at all. There aren't many l.d. Nurses around. It's hard to explain everything they do, so I've stollen this off the nhs website lol:
People with learning disabilities often have a wide range of physical and mental health conditions. Learning disability nurses work in partnership with them and family carers, to provide specialist healthcare. Their main aim is to support the well-being and social inclusion of people with a learning disability by improving or maintaining their physical and mental health; by reducing barriers; and supporting the person to pursue a fulfilling life. For example, teaching someone the skills to find work can be significant in helping them to lead a more independent, healthy life where they can relate to others on equal terms.
Learning disabilities nursing is provided in settings such as adult education, residential and community centres, as well as in patients' homes, workplaces and schools. You could specialise in such areas as education, sensory disability or the management of services. If you work in a residential setting, you may do shifts to provide 24-hour care.
I'm in Glamorgan. Cardiff don't do l.d. nursing

I'm quite glad to be honest - the facilities at Glamorgan are far better. I was blown away at their open day, they have an amazing simulation suite.. Plus the car park is about a 1/4 of the price lol

Hmmm I'm wondering whether I need to retrain, have been a Support Worker for 2 years (on friday) and feel that although I am good at the job I do (Big head!) my skills aren't being used to it's full potential.
Also the promised training is a LONG time in coming! Maybe a loan to do my own diploma.

No I don't have a degree, it took me until I was 40 to discover my vocation!
