Do you want to study for a career in nursing but not sure if you have the right qualifications? Reid Kerr College in Paisley can come to your aid, with an ‘Access to Nursing’ course starting soon.

On successful completion of the 1-Year Full-time programme, the course offers students secured entry into Adult or Mental Health Nursing at Paisley University. The course is aimed at students over 21 who are eager to enter this worthwhile profession.

Gordon Cowie, 36 from Penilee is currently undertaking the Access to Nursing Course at Reid Kerr College. Gordon said, “The Access to Nursing course is an excellent way for people without formal qualifications to gain entry to University and to follow a career in nursing. The course incorporates a wide range of subjects and provides the opportunity to develop valuable core skills.”

To find out more, you are invited to an Information Session, in partnership with Paisley University, about Access to Nursing at Reid Kerr College, on Wednesday 29th March 2006 at 10.00 am (prompt). You can find us in the Abercorn Building Lecture Theatre at Reid Kerr College, Renfrew Road, Paisley. Full course details and representatives from the department will be available on the day to help answer any questions you may have.

If you can’t attend the Information Session and wish to learn more, contact the Student Services Unit on 0800 052 7343.
