Navigating newly qualified life

Hi everyone,

I need some advice on a situation that just keeps making me increasingly worried. I am currently in my final year and months of my degree and will be a qualified nurse in 3 months. Unfortunately during the duration of my degree a lot of unfortunate things have happened in my personal life and I don’t really have a support network. There is a high chance I will be homeless by the end of my degree and I want to ensure I secure a job before that, I’m nervous about navigating life on my own and worried about finances. How hard is it to survive on a newly qualified nurse wage (entry band 5) without a support network of family or a partner to split the bills with ? I don’t know if this is the right place to ask but I just need some advice and tips from nurses who live on their own and/or don’t have any help/support
