Have you been accepted for a nursing diploma starting in march? I live in Scotland and they no longer having nursing diplomas as they have been raised to nursing degrees. The nursing course does not get the same holidays as the rest of the unis as you go out in work placements throughout the study and you get 2 weeks holiday the same as the working person. here in Scotland it is too late to apply for starting in feb/march as it is usually the year before you have to apply.
