G.c.s.e's are worthless in those type of proffesions

I myself got a sales job which paid £23,000 a year when i was 21 all because i lied about my qualifications and previous work experience i was good at the job thats all that mattered.

Its dog eat dog mate we all need jobs and some people didnt get the best start in life but can progress in their careers. Work experience is far more effective than a stupid little qualifacation they earned when they were a 15 year old kid

RLMAO.

Where do you start?

I know you're replying to Wombi there but...

You cannot compare sales to MEDICINE!!! Anyone can go into sales.

You DO need to have GCSES, A Levels or similar QUALIFICATIONS - not fantasy ones - to get into med school. Also, Wombies comments about maths being essential for nursing is an excellent point.

Look, lying about qualifications to sell mops door to door is no big deal, or if you fancy a *career* in road sweeping lie to your hearts content - hey tell them you have a doctorate!!! who gives a s***. But you cannot get away with (legally) lying to get into med school - you get found out and even if you are now a doctor and you get stuck off!

A nurse overdosing a patient due to a miscalculation is no joke, it happens far too often, which is one reason why they are getting even more tough on them.

Tell you what, quick quiz, which one of these three guys would you like managing your (cancer) morphine intake?

A. 39 year old ex bus driver who lied and said he has the qualifications to be a nurse but doesn't.
B. 41 year old *nurse* from a country where their med qualification can't be checked (who turns out to have lied just to pass the work restrictions to stay in the UK) but is in fact a farmer.
C. 25 year old state registered nurse who has honestly passed all the necessary qualification for her job.

The older two have more *experience* as you put it, but pity that experience just happens to be in farming and bus driving. You get overdosed.
