Why I became an adult nurse
Adult nursing can open up your career in healthcare – hear how some of our staff started as adult nurses, and see where they are today.
Professor Melaine Coward decided to become a nurse at age 13 to fulfil her love for people, volunteering at her local cottage hospital to wash and feed patients. After qualifying, she specialised as a cancer nurse, before stepping into higher education to train the next generation of healthcare professionals. Melaine is now the Head of the School of Health Sciences, after a 20 year journey at Surrey.
Louis Nyuyse became an Adult Nurse after a near-death experience inspired him to work in emergency care, looking after vulnerable people when they need help the most.
Wendy was inspired to train as an Adult Nurse after she lost both of her parents to cancer when they were in their early 50s.
Professor Jo Pritchard MBE was appointed as a Commissioner on the Prime Minister's Nursing and Midwifery Commission in 2010, and awarded an MBE for services to social enterprise. She is an Honorary Professor at the University of Surrey and Director of the first NHS social enterprise, but she started off as an adult nurse at Surrey - here she explains how this opened the doors to a long and varied career.
