Second year Adult Nursing Student Jack shares his experience of why he chose to sutdy with us.

My name is Jack, I am currently a second year Adult Nursing Student with King’s College London. I lived on the Isle of Man before coming to King’s and being able to study in London was an exciting experience and a wonderful start to my Degree. I have always been interested in working in a hospital environment and since my placements, I have wanted to pursue a career as a trauma nurse. Like yourselves I am sure, I had trouble deciding what degree I wanted to do; the benefits of nursing are that not only do you get a degree at the end of the three years, you have the prospect of going further into your studies. Also, the teaching style of the course is very tailored to how I learn; your personal tutor will always be there when you have any questions and you can easily reach them by email 24/7.

 Some of you may ask yourself the question, why should I study Nursing with King’s?

  1. It is the best university for my course according to the QS university rankings, and I am proud to be a part of the faculty that makes the course so enjoyable.
  2. The placement locations are at some of the best teaching hospitals in London. For example: My host trust is with King’s College Hospital, where they have the largest resuscitation unit in London. It is fantastic being able to work alongside the multi-disciplinary team and making a difference to the patient’s life.
  3. There are excellent opportunities at King’s for research and going into further qualification. Recently, the Cicely Saunders Institute joined our faculty and this I think shows King’s development and research are constantly progressing and I thoroughly look forward to learn more about palliative care.
  4. Being trained at King’s will give me fantastic job prospects all over the UK and internationally.
  5. King’s is very multi-cultural university, there are students from all over the world. I was born in Shanghai and moved to the U.K. when I was young and just being able to have the chance to meet so many fellow students from China has really helped me learn about the difference in culture.
