- I have been to around 35 countries.

- I’m a rubbish runner but I have completed two 10k runs – one for the Red Cross and one for Cancer Research.
- I have done a bungee jump and it was amazing!
- I collect snowglobes.

- 2011 was the year when I realised that I had to pursue a career in nursing 🙂
Hi, I’ve just found this blog and have read pretty much all of it in one go!
Like yourself I am a little bit older and suddenly got hit by an overwhelming desire to become a nurse and I’m slightly obsessed! I have found your blog so helpful as although I’m very excited about this sudden career change, I am completely terrified that I’ll be useless. I’m also grateful for your advice on learning new information, I have to write everything down repeatedly to get it into my head but I’m going to investigate podcasts and YouTube videos 🙂
Thank you so much for you’re wonderful (and brilliantly written) blog.
Hi Laura,
Thank you so very much for all your kind comments and for reading! I’m sure you have noticed that I have written in a long while…my life has been consumed by all things nursing! However, you have given me a quick nudge to update my blog! Good luck with your nursing career – I’m sure you will shine! xx
