Introduction
Hi everyone and welcome back to another video.
Today's video is all about alternate roles in Nursing that you might never have heard of.
And I really wanted to do this video because at university as a Student Nurse, they sort of focus a lot on hospitals and ward-based care, secondary care but we don't hear about the alternate roles in Nursing that you can do, which are amazing.
About this contributor
Registered Nurse
I am a Registered Nurse with over 12 years healthcare experience including: elderly care, orthopaedics, sexual health / family planning, qualified GP nurse, transgender healthcare and now in my new role as an assistant lecturer (as of Nov 2022). I believe that nursing gets a lot of bad press, so I create blogs and vlogs to help anyone considering their nursing career and to create positivity surrounding our profession as I'm so passionate about nursing.
