ACCESS TO HIGHER EDUCATION AT CHESTERFIELD COLLEGE

I was inspired to do the Health and Social Care course from my career path. I have been a carer since I was 18, but never thought about doing nursing as I never thought I was good enough or clever enough. It was during the pandemic that it came to fruition. There was a lot less staff as people were isolating and there were so many things that we ended up taking on that we hadn’t been trained to do. It was completely out of my comfort zone. I thought If I can do that, under all that pressure, without the training, then I can do the nursing course.”
