MAIN BODY
Scenario- I am a student studying in a university in U.K. I am a studying a course related
with Nursing. I aim to make sure that I pursue a career in nursing in the future. I want to become
an Adult Nurse in the future and therefore I want to make sure that I am able to develop
appropriate skills and competencies which are required for this particular purpose. This will be
quite helpful in ensuring that I develop these skills and competencies in a right way in the future.
I will be able to pursue excellence in my profession in this way which will help me in my career.
Identification of chosen health/social care role- My chosen career is Adult Nurse. It is
a profession in which the people are required to play a very important role in ensuring that the
better care of the patients can be taken and therefore they can be helped with their wide range of
medical needs and requirements. Thus, it is an important role which I need to play in the future
which will be useful for ensuring that the medical needs and requirements can be met out in a
better way (Ghanizadeh, 2017).
This role will be quite helpful for me in ensuring that I am able to take better decisions in
the future which will help me a lot in the right way.
Entry into chosen health/social care role- In order to work as an Adult Nurse, there is a
requirement of having a degree which is registered with the Nursing & Midwifery Council i.e.
NMC. Also, it is required that the completion of pre-registration nursing course is done so that
the eligibility to enter can be ensured as these courses are only run at NMC-approved educational
institutions i.e. AEIs. Therefore, these are the particular requirements which are essential for
becoming an Adult Nurse in U.K. Thus, by fulfilling those overall needs and requirements can be
fulfilled (Healey and Jenkins, 2018).
Further, it is quite essential to aim for skill development which will be quite helpful in
becoming Adult Nurse in the future. Thus, it is very important that the right skills can be
developed for this particular purpose like Teamwork skills, Cooperation skills, Coordination
skills and Organizational skills. Therefore, it becomes quite important that the development of
these skills can be ensured which will lead towards bringing an enhancement in own abilities so
that the personality development can be done and the desired level of improvements can be made
within the personality properly.
