I have started my first year at Chester University studying mental health nursing. I choose to study mental health nursing as I find mental health interesting and I am a caring person, who wants to help others. I studied GCSE and A Level Psychology, which gave me the interest into mental health. When I qualify as a nurse, I eventually progress into therapy. I live at home in Cheshire with my parents and younger brother. I commute to Chester for my studies and to meet up with friends.

I am a mature student studying Adult Nursing. I am a single parent and work part-time.
I love uni life, and UCB is fantastic. The lecturers are friendly, approachable, helpful and have time for you which was a big tick as this is very important. Everyone around uni is lovely. It's fresh and vibrant, and from the first day of starting in January, I knew it was the uni for me!
It's never too late to learn; if you are thinking of studying to become a nurse, I cannot recommend it enough! If i can do it, so can you!!!!

University seems daunting but I can hand on my heart say that it really is not that scary! You can still do everything that you want to do- even if you hear how chaos midwifery can be! A small trip to Disney with your friends half way through the course of a random few days off? Yes we did that!

Hi I'm Hannah! I am a post grad student at City. I study the Combined MSc Nursing course, as I have no idea which field of nursing I want to go into and this course allows me to explore my options. I am one of the commenting students at City, so I'm trying to learn the tube map as much as possible.
Feel free to ask me any questions around life as student nurse, about being a post grad, or about commuting to university :)

Nursing
My future plan is to excel in the career I am interested in and become the best version of myself to avoid regrets in my life! I consider myself ambitious but also procrastinate like most other people (just need lil bit of motivation to help myself but we will get there! Haha!) I hope to help you out in Bangor uni or in the admission process.
As an international student, I can also possibly give you some guidance on the admission processes as far as I can. (it is quite daunting coming from another country! so don't feel lonely!)
Side note: make the best use of your potential, and to those who read until here, thank you and keep shining!
