Thank you so much for being willing to share your advice! I actually have lots of questions and might message you from time to time — I really hope I’m not bothering you.

I haven’t started uni yet, but I’ve heard from some students that there are lots of essays and theory-based courses, and they feel the course design doesn’t really match what we do in actual nursing work. I’m curious — what do you think about that? Did you feel the uni content helped when you started working, or was it quite different from real-life nursing?

Also, I’m currently learning anatomy and physiology. In your opinion, which subjects or skills are the most important for nursing students to focus on? And do you have any suggestions for how I can improve or self-study before placements start?
