Bury College Student: 2016-2018
Bury College Qualifications: Health and Social Care Level 3 (Cadet Scheme) - D* D*D*
Once I secured my Bury College qualification, I progressed onto the University of Salford to study Adult Nursing BSc (Hons). I am currently in the third year of my degree and I have had the opportunity to complete some amazing placements across Pennine Acute Hospitals NHS Trust. These have included working in Acute medicine, A&E and anaesthetics and learning all about their different roles from how they assist surgeons, to patients’ surgical journeys.
I am so proud to say that I have recently secured a full-time position as an Accident and Emergency staff nurse at North Manchester Hospital. I am due to qualify in July and will start my job in September 2021.
I chose to study at Bury College because I really wanted to study the Health and Social Care Cadet course. I was also impressed to read about the different careers that former students had progressed onto.
I am really proud to have secured my dream job and to be starting my employment journey in Accident and Emergency from this September. I was also delighted to have secured triple distinction stars at Bury College which is the highest grade possible.
My advice would be to take every opportunity that comes your way. It’s also really important to believe in yourself and have the confidence that you can achieve anything that you put your mind to.
Amazing, phenomenal, enlightening.
