Introduction
Hi guys. For those who have never seen my face before, my name is Alexandria Grace or Alex as most people like to call me.
I am a second year Student Nurse at King's College London and I'm studying Children's Nursing.
Today's video is gonna be, as the title explains, about tips for school leavers who are considering a Nursing degree.
I get a lot of people messaging me, asking me about things they can do alongside revising for their A Levels to help with their application or people asking me about experience they should have, and people worrying like, oh, I don't have any experience.
I'm still in school, I'm going straight from school, how will I stand out from maybe people who have been working in healthcare for years and years?
So I just thought I'd make a video about it just to make things clearer, to help people and hopefully just give some useful advice.
