  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • I am a degree student nurse apprentice and I study for 37.5 hours a week and I work on placement 37.5 hours a week. This is done by study blocks and work blocks and is identical to the BSC non apprentice course which I really like. The course is fantastic and I love it!

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • I have learnt many skills so far, learning lots on theory and then being able to put them skills into practice on placement has been so beneficial. The mixture of both is so beneficial in nursing and I feel this apprenticeship has helped me grow into a confident student professional.
