Creating a positive change in peoples lives is what I want to accomplish. Child nursing is a career that fulfils this drive. Coming from a large family and being one of the oldest children, I have grown to love helping others and empathizing with their problems, I feel that nursing is a career that reflects this. Growing up with a deaf brother with learning difficulties, I have seen my mother be his carer, this sparked my interest in working with young people, and it gave me an insight into what it would be like to work with children with additional needs. The dedication and consideration of child nurses go beyond just wanting to treat patients. I gained curiosity in child nursing when I attended an open day, it allowed me to get an awareness of what the course offers, there is a combination of both academic studies and clinical placements, which I believe is perfectly suited to me.
I knew that this would be the ideal course for me. I am a very hands-on type of person but I understand people’s boundaries and find it very easy to connect with new people. I think this is an important quality to possess, as nurses encounter new people each day. I volunteered at a nursing home for elderly people, and since working there I discovered a lot about how every patient is different, being alert is key, and working in a team is tremendously important. Volunteering in an elderly nursing home helped me to choose to specialize in child nursing. I felt more fitted to the role due to my time working with the school nurse, at a primary school as part of my work experience in secondary school. Shadowing the nurse gave me an insight into what it was like dealing with younger children. During this time, I learned that every child has a different way of communicating with the school nurse, and working with younger people I felt myself connecting well with the children. I also carried out a week of work experience in a nursery, I was working with children aged 0-5 years old at this placement I would play with the children as well as help prepare food and supervise them.
Within all three of the placements, I worked with a variety of people both children and adults all from different backgrounds broadening my understanding of how to manage their individual needs. This placement gave me the understanding and knowledge I needed to know about working with very young children.
Currently, I am studying BTEC business, this course has taught me how to deal with people in a working environment, which is a vital quality to have as a nurse. I was employed part-time as a till operator at Tesco, it allowed me to speak to new people and allowed me to develop many new skills that I feel would help me with my future career as a nurse. I also mastered the skill of maturity and responsibility, as I was a prefect in my final year of secondary school. Tesco helped me to improve my teamwork working skills, communication skills and made me able to deal with difficult situations.
As well as volunteering part-time at an elderly home, I thoroughly enjoy performing arts and it has been a hobby of mine since I was a child. I am actively involved in all my school shows which include singing, acting, and dancing. It helped me to build my confidence as I was performing in front of large crowds. Having a hobby, which is very different from nursing I, feel will help me to have a balance between social and work life.
My plans for my career are ultimately to work for the NHS as a pediatric nurse, I understand that there are also many challenges involved in child nursing, it is an extremely demanding career. However, I am determined to not let this get in the way as the benefits would be rewarding. I see myself using the skills I have and the ones I will develop at university to help improve the quality of peoples lives.
