Nursing is my second career, I previously worked as a graphic designer in advertising. I registered as a nurse in 1996 and initially worked on a medical ward, then specialised in respiratory nursing before moving into palliative care as a clinical nurse specialist (Macmillan nurse). Educationally I was taught old-school (on the wards) which meant I didn’t have even a diploma when I qualified. I did ENB 931, then a Nursing diploma, BA in nursing, non-medical prescribing, MSC Practice education and recently Doctorate. Interspersed with teaching qualifications.
