What made you want to get into nursing?I grew up knowing I’m going to be a nurse. When I moved here from the Philippines, I knew then that I was ready to go to university – it felt like it was ‘now or never’.
I was a care worker at a home in Newcastle and had a patient with learning disabilities. His family told me about learning disability nursing. I enquired about it at university and I got really good feedback from people who said Northumbria was one of the best places to go. And they were right.
