| PROGRESS

I had already been to
the College for Int 2
Health & Social Care
and NC Pre-Nursing,
then I decided to
work full-time in a
care home. I was
doing personal care
and assisting with
eating and drinking.
However, I wanted
to get my HNC so I
could then go onto
university and do
nursing. Working in
the care home you
get to see a lot of
stuff, but it makes
you want to progress
and better yourself.
One positive was
that I brought care
experience to my
placement at Ailsa
Hospital, from working
before the course.
I also know, for
example, that I need
to be more confident
when I’m doing
presentations in front
of a crowd.
“WITH MY
NURSING
DEGREE
I’D LIKE TO
SPECIALISE
IN
PAEDIATRICS
IN A
HOSPITAL.”
ABOUT HER
PLACEMENT
My placement
at Ailsa Hospital was
from November to
June and I picked up a
lot of new stuff there.
I learnt how to give
injections, how to take
bloods, learnt about
medications but I also
picked up different
approaches you can
take to people to
make them feel better.
