Coming from previous life experience in running my own business and achieving my MSc in Management, I wish this programme was available when I made the lifechanging choice to become a student nurse.

Rather than taking a step back into another Undergraduate programme, this progressive programme would facilitate me to step forward at a level of education I am familiar with whilst enabling the ability to hone and develop transferrable skills relevant to the nursing profession as well as stimulate new learning and skills. Thus, empowering the student voice and growth into becoming an innovative and proficient nurse.

When can I apply?

Nursing needs diverse voices, now more than ever. There's scope for nursing to be a profession that not only cares in the traditional sense, but that engages with matters of social justice at community and population levels. Progressive forms of nurse education are needed to empower future nurses to engage with these challenges.

This is me with the founders of State of Mind at the student-organised Future Mental Health Nursing Conference, 2018.

I feel this course will add a real depth to the nursing program, particularly as the inception of it has involved such a diverse group. The workplace is so varied and ever changing, which is reflected in the breadth of opportunities within the course, including non-NHS placements.

I think this is an excellent programme which will allow graduates from a variety of disciplines to join the nursing profession. Many students choose first degree subjects based on their favourite school subjects. This will give great opportunities for graduates to bring a wide variety of experience to the course.

The portfolio entry requirement will  highlight a prospective student's level of experience both academically and practically, showcasing personal qualities that are fundamental to becoming an innovative nurse.

The future of nursing requires innovative lecturers and students to work together, I believe this course will allow both to refresh the future of nursing education and practice.

Here is a picture of myself and my late grandfather. He is the one who inspired me to do what makes me happy, he was a big believer in making small changes with big impacts, as am I.

By utilising the students drive and passion for nursing, and drawing on their life skills and experiences, this course will create a new diverse and focussed generation of nurses. I am excited to to see the positive impact this course has on the future of nursing practice.

This is a picture of my family, my support and my encouragement. I wouldn't have dreamed of doing this having been "only a mum" for so long had it not been for them.

I think this programme will be a game changer in terms of nurse education and practice.  It harnesses students’ existing academic and life skills and enables them to reflect, question, challenge and enhance the ways in which the nursing profession evolves.
