Is there nurses out there i was thinking of joining nurse cadet scheme, wats nursing all about???

Answer 1

Nursing has changed a lot since my mother trained in the 50s and even since I trained in the 90's. I trained in a hospital and I still feel that this is the best way to learn.
Todays nurses spend a lot of time at university which can be a good thing. I do not think ti is absolutely necessary to have a degree to be a good nurse. As someone else has said, nurses need a large degree of empathy to cope with patients but so often today there are not enough of them so they are too busy.
Nurse cadets are excellent and it is a really good way of discovering if you are suited to nursing, too. I would say go for it. You will nto get a large amount of actual nursing as a cadet but you will be on the wards and you will get a feel for the profession.

Answer 2

why dont you get a job or voluteer as a care assistant in a nursing home to give you a bit of an idea. I dont know many nurses that would recomend you go into nursing these days... i am a nurse and worked as a theatre sister until 2 years ago as nursing left the life sucked out of me, it is very political these days and not the most supportive of professions to go into. sorry if its a bit pessimistic but if you were my daughter i would encourage you to do something else. good luck whatever you decide.
