Before applying to University, I knew that I definitely wanted to do something in healthcare and I wasn't sure whether that was medicine, nursing, PT or something like that. I was really undecided for a while, until, unfortunately, I spent a lot of time in hospital with a family member who was in critical care. The nurses that were there really helped us and showed their passion to care, their expertise and support which inspired me. It takes a very special person to do this and I remember thinking, if I could make that difference to someone else's life, then that is what I would love to do - A job that is so fulfilling and makes a difference. I knew that I didn't want to have a desk or an office job, that is just not for me, I could definitely see myself doing what the nurses did so from then on, I decided that I wanted to study Adult Nursing.
