Employed
I am now a staff nurse working at Epsom and St. Helier hospitals on the haematology and oncology day unit. I graduated as a nurse in 2016. I have 2 degrees, one in Geography and one in Adult Nursing and I have just started my masters in Nursing. I live with my husband and we have a little boy, Alexander, who is 1 year old. I was a special in the police whilst I was working as a healthcare assistant at Kingston Hospital. Whilst I was there they noticed my passion and caring side towards people and offered to sponsor me to do my nursing so I ended up a Florence Nightingale at Kings in London. I love it so much, better than the police. I am very passionate about my job so I would persuade the girls and/or boys to go into healthcare!!! We need You!
Enrichment Activities
Show all activitiesThe students' choice of topic is free, although they must show that it is academically useful, either related to their current course of study, or their future career. It takes the form of either a dissertation or a number of other forms: a musical or dramatical composition, report or artefact, backed up with paperwork.
You'll get plenty of chances to explore the world, with a range of residential trips organised around different subject areas and including destinations like New York, Washington, Paris, Iceland and Greece.
We believe in bringing culture to life, and giving you a deeper understanding of the world through participation in a wide range of clubs and societies, open to all students regardless of subject choices. Take instrument or vocal lessons through the Music Department and join the orchestra or chamber choir. Develop your art skills and display your work around the school. Take your acting skills to the stage with our thriving Drama Department's regular productions. And explore many opportunities to get out into the world and see the best it has to offer, including trips to West End theatre productions, design museums, galleries, recitals, exhibitions and much more.
