    For this role you would need to ensure you have good enough GCSEs A levels or enough UCAS points in order to be able to apply. You would then need to consider if you want to go officer or soldier route if you're looking at student nurse you can only apply as a soldier with an option to commission later down the line if you wish to go that route. the key things to worry about are the entry criteria not just grades but ideally try to get some practical experience working with people especially in a care environment although not necessary it will definitely help and most importantly work of fitness as its one thing that catches out a lot of people so ensure you know the entry criteria and consult a doctor before doing any kind of fitness to that level.
