Definitely teaching. It’s a Monday to Friday and you’ll get same holidays as the children. It’s 7:30 or so to 3 or 4pm which means you’ll have the evenings with your children or family. ... my partner has been a primary school teacher for over 10yrs now..... nursing is good also but it’s usually shift work so you might be working various shifts....
LadyD91:
Good evening every one. Please
Teaching and nursing in the UK which one is better for a family woman? That can also give someone time to take care of family?

Hello!
Please, I really need advice and opinions on some sort of career counselling. I'm really confused right now.. I will really appreciate your responses.

Recently, I was fortunate to get someone to help me further my education in the UK (I've been researching on how to leave Nigeria for a while).
Why I'm confused? --- I studied Biochemistry at undergraduate level and I want to further in a course that will guarantee me a job after my study(I plan to stay back after study)...
I checked out the jobs high in demand over there and I came across health workers..
Now the question is what are the courses I can study at masters level and will guarantee me a job after study...

NB: I checked out nursing but the universities required nursing at degree level or prior experience...
I checked out Clinical biochemistry but it doesn't seem to have enough prospects.....

Also, is there any health care course(nursing or related work) I can study within a year? The mental Health nursing I came across is 2years full time study

Please help

First thing first provided you haven’t got any criminal conviction and you are not a risk to children. They’ve have to conduct a DBS check to verify this. You’ll need to convert prove that you’ve got the necessary grades in A-levels/O levels through NURIC.
With a university degree It would take you a maximum of 18 months. If you haven’t got a university degree already then you’ll have to enter university and study education. While studying, they’ll also link you up with some schools where you’ll work get some classroom experience ...

Here is a link that will help you explain in details .

Unfortunately, there are no 'cheap' universities. But some affordable ones from your choice will be Stafford uni, BCU, Uni of wolve, etc.
Thanks a lot for the info, how much I required to show as proof of sufficient funds at the embassy? If you have an idea of course

I don’t even think you can work as a nurse with a masters in nursing. Most professions need you to have a bachelors in their degree to work. E.g my sister wants to become a lawyer, but she studied Intl Relations. Now, if she does a masters in law, they won’t let her practice. Masters is for research skill. Bachelors is truly want teaches you to practice. So she is prepping to study law again as undergrad.

Meaning, if you want to become a nurse, you may need to study nursing as an undergrad. Anyway, this isn’t my field so take my words with a pinch of salt.

It doesnt matter what your first degree is in... if not what will be the point taking none nursing undergraduate then finishing masters and cannot practise. That would be totally pointless. and from begining schools wont offer that program to non nursing graduate

If you gain admission into a master in nursing eg Adult nursing program as long as the Course has been approved by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) .

On successful graduation you will be eligible to apply for registration with the NMC which is the ticket to practise within that specialization of nursing..... the program is designed to teach you regardless of what your undergrad is, what you need to know within that 2 years to register and practise . Some BSC nursing are the same 2 years as well and after that you are good to go

You need to be calming down and read o...they both said totally different things...what Oga Lexus meant was nurses can do SET Shift...in other words, you can choose to do only night shifts, only afternoon shifts or only morning shifts without having to do variable shifts that might disturb your daily schedule as regards childcare...

You need to calm down instead of repeating same thing Na Wa for una sef.

The SET Shifts is still the same thing do they have to spell everything out for you guys.

What do you guys gain from repeating yourselves? Writing long epistles wont change anything. Just be straight to the point that's what OP did.

He even went further to say he doesn't know much about Nursing but nursing still have "various shifts" unlike Teaching that has Monday to Friday and as well public holidays because he his wife is into teaching.

What's there that you guys don't get haba nowhuh


The three of you are saying the same thing.

Well "Set Shift" would mean his statement of teachers having more time is incorrect because nurses can do a set Shift to give themselves time

...using various in his context would mean having a rota with different shift times that would make family time difficult...i hope you are getting the picture

...anyways, I hope the person gets the message that nursing work times are not as rigid as was implied

These are basically path to settlement called ILR.

5 year is usually when you are on Tier 1, 2 (with dependants), Spousal
10 year route leads to settlement as long as you have legally stayed in the UK. During this process, you can be on any visa (switch/extend) as long as it's legal.

Tier 4 and Post study does not count to settlement but can be used alongside the 10 year route.

Good LORD!!! HE SAID VARIOUS SHIFT FOR NURSES. It doesn't mean difficult times with family nah haba. How do you people read and understand
English comprehension during primary and secondary school??

It means she/he will have time for family at different times. She/he doesn't have to wait till evening or during holidays to be with family.

It that's so difficult to comprehend?


The person did not say anything bad about Nursing shifts why are you guys doing this nah.

By the way the person that ask the question understand the advice.


Secondly he never said Teachers have more time,he only stated that because of his wife. Where did he mention Teachers shifts are better than Nurses?

Why una dey do this kin thing for public?

If you want to give better advice do instead of repeating same thing.
