Julia talks about balancing her nursing course with family life, and her ambitions for her nursing career ahead.
Can you introduce yourself, the course you’re currently studying and how far into your studies you are?
My name is Julia Sellwood, I am 45 years of age and a mother of 5 children. I am doing a diploma in adult nursing and am in my final year.
What made you decide to study to become a nurse?
I chose to study to become a nurse after doing the NVQ3 in health and social care at the local trust where I was working. The reason I decided to do adult nursing was because I had previously been working on an assessment unit, and I enjoyed caring for people.
I wanted to do something that was challenging and rewarding.
