I trained as a nurse in England and worked there for 5 years.. Returned to Ireland and nursed for 8 years. Decided to do montessori degree for 3 years. I did resource teaching for 2 years. Then did pgce primary england. Returned to Ireland have been teaching since. My question is can I add my nursing years service to my teaching years service. ..can my 8 years nursing in ireland be reduced from my years service in teaching. ...its very difficult to get information on this. thanks in advance.
