My name is Lea Holkoro, I am 23 years old and certified nurse.
"Helly, how are you today?"
"Hello, I'm fine, thank you."
"Great. I just want to check your blood pressure."
"Okay."
I chose this job because working with people has always been important to me.
My interestwas sparked by a very nice nurse i met
during a hospital stay.
I still work at the dermatology clinic of University Medical Center Göttingen
where I deal with people suffering from psoriasis,
or venous ulcers who e.g. need their dressing changed on a daily basis,
or infusion therapy.
The main reason for choosen this study programme
was being able to work in different fields of action in nursing,
and also acquiring more theoretical knowledge.
I just wanted to get a broader view.
The fact that University Medical Centre Göttingen
and Hanover University of Applied Sciences and Arts are cooperation partners,
made it eays for me.
But there are many other ways to get into the study programme.
We meet once a month for a week.
The atmospere is extremely friendly.
Most lecturers have a background in nursing
or a social science.
So they're quite familiar with our situation.
I want to specialise in consulting,
because that's a major fiels of action in nursing.
It's not really a part of the work we do yet,
but extremely important for patients.
What I like most about this study programme
is how I benefit from other peoples' experience.
Now I question things instead of just putting
up with them as given procedure.
My plan is to get my masters degree,
but keep on working as nurse.
I also want to be active in research but I have realised
that nursing really is the right job for me.
