What A-Levels do I need to be a nurse?
I'm almost at the end of my GCSEs now and I took Religious Studies (B), Music (A) and Business BTEC (Pass), along with all the core subjects like Maths (B), English (B), Welsh (A*), Biology (C), Physics (C) and Chemistry (C) (Science including coursework - overall B) and I'm thinking of going into nursing in a hospital.
But now I'm a bit stuck because I've got no idea what A-Levels I'll need to take. I'm hoping to get into sixth form in September and I still haven't decided what to take for A-Level..
Help?? :)
Also I'm quite rubbish at science and I don't enjoy it at all aha :/

Typical degree entry requirements are:
5 GCSEs (or equivalent), plus at least 2 A-levels (or equivalent).
I'm not sure it really matters what A-Levels you do. Biology would probably be useful :)

You will usually need a minimum of five GCSEs at grade C or above (typically including English language or literature and a science subject), plus two A levels or equivalent. However, some universities may ask for three A levels so check with them directly.
All applicants will also have to demonstrate evidence of literacy and numeracy.
Entry requirements vary so it is best to check with the university that you wish to apply to. I completed an Access to Health and Social Care course and was accepted into the university of my choice.
Also, try to get some work experience in a care/hospital setting before you apply.
