About Me

I am currently a student undertaking a course in child nursing in Birmingham , hoping that when I finish my studies I can get
on to my career path of becoming a successful paediatric nurse (children’s nurse).
From the age 11 and up I
have had a massive desire in becoming a paediatric nurse due to
growing up in such a huge family which has led me to
create a compassionate love for all children whether it be
children with disabilities or
learning difficulties.
If I had to describe myself in three words I would say that I
am patient, sociable and loving.
I have chosen the word patient as it enables me to analyse
things and situations beyond their face value. In the
circumstance of working with children, when you
demonstrate patience you are also giving the child the
message that he or she is valued and validated. I have also
chosen the word sociable because as humans social
interaction is essential to every aspect of our health. When
working with children, I believe it is important to be
sociable as it helps and prepares children for a lifetime of
healthier interactions in all aspect of life, for example
displaying good manners, communicating effectively with
others and being considerate of the feelings of others and
expressing personal needs which are important
components of solid social skills. Lastly, I have
chosen the word loving as love brings people together
even in tough times, it is not only relevant but an essential
tool to society. Being loving to a child allows them to feel
safe and secure emotionally and physically and helps them
develop confidence and self-esteem.
I am applying for this vacancy, as I strongly believe that it
will guide and help me in gaining more knowledge and experience in the sector of childcare, I highly think that this
vacancy is the first step for me in slowly accomplishing my
career goals in becoming a midwife and working closely
with children. Every day, I make it my priority to read books
and revise on the key stages of working in healthcare. I
hope to expand my learning by having an opportunity in
being the
successful candidate for this vacancy, I do not have any
experience in working in a hospital setting , but I have done
volunteering at an after school club for children , doing
basic tasks such as preparing
their meals, helping them with their homework and
spending time with them by doing activities such as
running around, playing with toys and reading to them. I
also do not have a healthcare
qualification such as BTEC or NVQ but I am willing to work
towards any course given to me and I can whole heartedly
guarantee that I will be motivated and driven to do what is
expected.
I am more than ready for any challenges that come with
this vacancy and I'm willing to show my compassion and
motivation whilst learning and gaining experience.
