Hear from one of our students

Second year Mental Health Nursing (BN) student, Jodie, talks about her experience of studying with us.

I love being a student nurse because it gives me the opportunity to learn new things everyday. It's also helped me to become the person I am today - I am far more confident and open minded and I'll never take anything for granted from now on.
