Nursing Personal statements

I am applying to do a nursing degree at uni but I haven’t managed to get any work experience. Will this heavily affect my application or is there anything I can do to make up for it.

I applied for architecture and didn’t have any personal experience and i still got accepted. Just do a lot of reading on the subject and show that you’re knowledgeable in relevant topics.

Have you done anything like babysitting or looking after younger siblings?

Have you done any part-time work/volunteering in a public facing role (bar staff, cafe, charity shop, etc.)? If not, try and get something now so that you can add it you personal statement in time to submit by the January deadline.

Work experience does matter for healthcare courses.

Do you know anywhere I can do some work experience?

I am currently volunteering at a charity shop but how can that help me in my personal statement when trying to relate it to healthcare?

how could i relate that to a health/ medical course though??

I'm honestly confused at the replies! I don't think it'll affect your application too much, I mean a lot of people who apply for nursing don't necessarily have the experience but do have the knowledge which is important.

In my personal statement I used my knowledge to show I knew what I was talking about so talking about the 6 C's and then I also used my A levels and said how each of them benefited me with gaining skills and knowledge for Nursing.

Care homes are usually the best bet. Tbh I would strongly recommend you do this anyway, even if you didn't need it for your application. I think it is essential to expose yourself to challenging situations, intimate care and patient contact before embarking on a medical or nursing degree - these are non-negotiable aspects of the profession, and if you don't like doing it in a voluntary capacity then it most definitely is not the right career for you.

Relate your volunteering experience to the NHS values and 6 Cs. For example: teamwork; respecting the views of team members and customers; communication with team members and customers; showing empathy, etc.

Thank you very much for this what are the 6 c ?
