"Plymouth could not have prepared me better for life as a Registered nurse."
The role of being a children’s nurse is a diverse and challenging career. However, it offers so many rewards and opportunities across many different roles. It is by no means limited and with the right attitude and application, you can achieve great things and equally have an impact on the lives of those you meet along the way.

Associate Professor in Child Health Nursing - Acute Care
I would never have thought that eight years after qualifying I would be teaching the nurses of the future, but I am and part of that is due to my three years of training.
“I enjoy the fast and ever-changing pace of work, needing to deal with everything from simple ailments to critically ill children, where the skill of managing difficult situations is needed."
