0.00 Introduction
Hi, welcome back to my channel. If you're new here. My name is Claire and I'm a third year adult nursing student at the University of Southampton in England.
And if you're returning back for another video then thank you so much.
So today's video, I want to make a video about the things I wish I knew before I started nursing and there's a lot that I wish I knew before I started nursing.
But I feel like these five points are definitely the ones that I would tell other people before they start.
And if you're just starting in September then hopefully this video will prepare you a little bit for what's to come over the next three years.
So I'm in a bit of a nicer background because I have actually moved houses as such. So I've moved out of student shared accommodation into a house out into private rented halls with my boyfriend Andrew. So that's really, really nice. And we've only moved in less than a week.
So this is my first video here and yeah, it's really exciting and I'm going to be doing like morning routines here, evening routines, day in the life, like all of the stuff in this incredible new accommodation.
So if you're excited for that please subscribe, if you're not already so that you don't miss that on any new videos.
