Student stories

The foundation year for nursing allowed me to grow and develop my skills, particularly my writing skills. This set me up perfectly for progressing to the Adult Nursing BSc and working on my dissertation.

I enjoyed my four-week elective placement in Ghana – I always wanted to do my elective internationally to see a different healthcare system.

I always wanted to work at Great Ormond Street Hospital as a qualified nurse – and now I will! It’s my dream job.

I have never found a team that is as supporting, encouraging and caring than my fellow peers and tutoring staff.

Last semester I joined the Kaizen Team at the East Surrey Hospital for a five day rapid process improvement workshop.

The staff at Surrey are very friendly and treat us as co-workers (which one day we will be!), instead of just students.

It’s great to be on placement.  Every time someone refers to me as a nurse my heart skips a beat!

My first impression of the campus was that I loved it! The facilities blew me away, and all the course lecturers were so approachable and supportive.
