What is your experience of counseling? You could try volunteering a few hours a week as a counselor for a charity or look for work in the NHS if you are not sure what you want to do. If you want to study or work in something different, then your HND will probably not play much of a part. I think the best thing you can do is ask yourself why do you want to study and work to be a counselor? What is it that appeals to you ie. money, work times, locations etc. If you like helping others then nursing, occupational therapy, or the civil service (ie. working for the local council, advising people who are on benefits etc.) are some good choices..

The counseling field is EXTREMELY competitive and it takes many years to become an accredited counselor, many therapists have MAs in psychology and so on so if you just want any old job then you might want to rethink things for yourself. My advise is to stop rushing about it and slow down, don't try to bully yourself into a job or something you don't want to do otherwise you will fall out with yourself fast.

So if you're deciding counseling isn't your thing, then you could try management, customer service, nursing, health and safety, etc. City & Guilds offer a lot of courses on these, or if you want to go to university, you could try an access course and even go to study for a degree. But make sure you know what you want to do after you've finished!

Health Test, I need this class to graduate on the 11th!?

I'll do my best to answer those questions accurately :)

The "first" question: C. Registered Nurse (RN).

2nd question: C. Discretion

3rd question: A. Self-Motivation

4th question: I'm guessing that it's D. Dietitian (should be a Registered Dietitian/RD).

5th question: Another guess that it's C.

6th question: I would think that it's A.

7th question: I believe that it's C. (at least a master's degree).

8th question: B. Medical Social Worker

9th question: A. (however, these days, an OT must have a master's degree while still passing a national certification exam).

10th question: B. Medical Claims Examiner

What are the odds a non-EU citizen could get a nursing job in the UK or Ireland?
