Can I pick your collective brains
for advice please? I have been working in Occupation Health since 1987,
initially in Further Education then Industry, Higher Education and for the
last 10 years in the NHS. I did my OHNC at Institute of Advanced
Nursing Education between 1988 -1990 and then a
research module to obtain my Diploma in 1997. I also did 2 modules at level 3
around 1998/99 before being made redundant from that particular post therefore
being unable to complete my degree. I am already on part 3 of the register
with the qualifications I have.
As part of my appraisal I have
been asked to look at training opportunities. I am not sure if there an option
open to me to simply do the level 3 modules, or would I be best to undertake
something that would give me a generic degree. It would appear the way forward
is to have a degree qualification nowadays and I still have the potential to
be working for at least another 20 years. Would I be better looking at
something at a Masters level or would I need a degree before I could do that.
I would imagine I would be outside the limits for APL to apply. Tried looking
on University websites but found it confusing. Distance learning opportunities
would be my best option
Any words of wisdom gratefully
received, sorry for sending this on a Friday but only time I get to catch up a
bit on the outstanding things in my in-tray. Thanks in advance for any
responses.
Regards and have a nice
weekend
Pauline
