Offer to help out

So I am looking into starting a nursing degree. Is there anything I can do to offer my time on any wards to help out and see how it runs on a daily ect ?

Even getting patients cups of tea and having chats

You could look into your local hospital trust volunteering work on wards for things like helping with cuppa teas etc, meals and even reading books or papers to patients ( especially elderly) and you'll have to do anything else you are asked by the ward sister.

Another one is you could apply for part-time HCA nursing to gain experience.
