Hear from one of our students
Third year Adult Nursing (BN) student, Eleanor, talks about her experience of studying with us.
Being a student nurse gives me a purpose to my life - to care for others when they need it most.
Support from staff has been particularly excellent. As the cohort size is smaller in the Spring intake, you also develop strong bonds with peers. Having strong bonds with peers is essential as they can become your nursing family and they can support you through some difficult and amazing times.
