i have two young children and my husband already works shifts so i`m not sure i could work round that?

I had to work day shift and afternoons when I was in clinical placements.No nights.

No some hospitals will assign you one permanent shift.

you have to work shifts but I don't think that includes nights.

My friend studied a few years ago and was asked to work different placements. Talk to the course senior lecturer lots of mothers do the course so they are able to cater to your needs.
