Seven Reasons to Study Nursing

Choosing a degree which will occupy 3 years of your life is a big decision, and one which requires a bit of thought before you commit. For anyone who is toying with the idea of being a nurse but is not totally sold just yet, we have created this short list of reasons for studying nursing at university.

1. Helping others

Nursing is a noble and altruistic profession, concerned primarily with the aiding of others who can not fend for themselves. However it is not just a one way deal; Nursing will benefit the carer nearly as much as it will benefit the cared-for, with the potential for meeting countless new and interesting people every day. If you have an interest in genuinely improving someone’s well-being, making someone who is sick as comfortable as possible or even delivering a new life into the world, a Nursing course is an obvious next step in your career.

As careers go, Nursing is reasonably high-octane, and so a typical day at the office could be an adrenaline filled, challenging and vibrant affair. You are not confined to the UK either. Nursing is a profession required by all, and so foreign missions are common-place. Extrapolating your skills to numerous different settings is sure to provide requisite excitement for potential nurses.

5. Diversity

Nursing is one term for any number of jobs. A Nursing degree can be in Midwifery, Palliative care, School nursing, children’s nursing, Adult nursing and many other areas. Your degree can therefore be tailored in order to make it more relevant to your interests, and switching fields is reasonably simple.

6. Nurses can work anywhere

Become a registered nurse and your skills will be in demand throughout the country. You may even want to take your work abroad, and with the right qualifications you can.

Nursing will offer you training in complex medical care, of which some are not dependent on any tangible equipment. By studying Nursing, your potential ability to save a life can be extrapolated to everyday scenarios, making you an asset to your family and society as a whole.
