Nurses - help!

Hey all,

I’m 37 and have a long career in marketing and business and that whole world. For years I’ve been wanting to get into health care (when studying business I worked in a pharmacy in a hospital delivering medications for 4 years) and have spent time In hospital myself due to some health complications.

I’m wanting to swap careers and get into nursing. I’ve actually been accepted into studying RN’s (2 years full time and can be registered), however I’m taking a year before making the call as I’ve just had a baby.

My question for nurses in the know how - I understand I have to do 800+ hours placement, but I won’t have any other experience on my CV.

How hard would it likely be for me to land a job, given my background is retail and marketing roles.

Thanks in advance.
