[QUOTE="GrantGam, post: 1291362, member: 295621"] That would be a rewarding career choice! I'm sure I remember reading a post by someone on the forum (a fellow diabetic) who was training to be a DSN. But I can't remember who... The typical route into the above job is to qualify as a general nurse and then complete further education and training specific to diabetes. Work experience that would look good on your CV for becoming a nurse would probably be something in the caring profession. So whether that be for the elderly or young, disabled or able bodied - as long as you express a keen interest in helping others, you'll be fine. Work experience tends to play a very small role in employment further down the line, so I wouldn't worry about it too much. For instance, my work experience was in forestry, my last three Highers (Scottish A levels) were music, english and psychology - I then studied a FD in Marine Electronic and Electrical Engineering and now I'm an electrician on a ferry... There's no logic there whatsoever, and the work experience never came up in any interviews or application forms:) Good luck! [/QUOTE]
