Why did you want to do this Nursing Course and what do you intend to get out of your studies?
I have always been interested in nursing, but I never had the confidence to do it before. I think this is because of having my children young and not having faith in myself. Now my children are getting older I have now focused on doing something for me and getting myself a career which will benefit us all in the long run. I would like to gain the knowledge, clinical skills to enable me to be a great nurse in the future. I am hoping to learn lots of new things from the different placements that I will be on also.

What do you intend to do to address your learning needs?
