The amount of art graduates in London is increasing every year, with more than 30% of increase during 2013 in comparison to 2012. This increment could lead into an oversaturated job market, making post-graduate life scaring to last year students. For many, the major concern is what to do next. Some start looking for work immediately, but face fierce competition with other graduates. Others would like to start their own businesses, but may encounter many barriers doing it, such as lack of financial support or knowledge. Whilst these problems could break students confidence, University offer inside support and guidance to them. There are currently some organizations that support young graduates to set up their business, like the Centre for Fashion Enterprise, which is part of the University of Arts London that offer different programmes to help students to start their brand or even expand it. Another important fact is that the syllabuses of design and creative arts courses usually offer some subjects to give some advice on how to enter on the business area. This essay would examine the importance of in-course content and post-graduate support, in terms of developing professional experience and setting an independent business.
Currently, the guidance offered by in-course preparation is a main asset for graduates, helping them to enhance knowledge, which would be useful when starting a work or even their own businesses. An example of this could be the syllabus for BA Advertising course, which provides an opportunity to take one year out for professional studies, giving students the chance to work with great advertising agencies around the world, and develop professional skills. Moreover, Universities encourages graduates to partici...

... a website because there is a wide number of students who are unaware of this site. Maybe it will be useful to start doing some inside publicity to all the services that UAL provides in order to help graduates to advance for a successful professional life.
Finally in brief, all graduates are usually concern on what they are going to do after finishing they degree but actually they count with different skills that had been acquired in their courses, furthermore Universities actually are nursing and backing them with services and in-course guidance to engage their ambitions in order to become innovative entrepreneurs. Therefore the most important subject is to make them aware of those services and drive them to a better professional future. After all that’s the main purpose of getting a degree, to be successful and be part of that new generation of forward-thinkers.
This is a great opportunity for students to evaluate themselves and acknowledge their weaknesses and strengths. This paper will discuss my success plan in nursing program.
In the novel, What the Best College Students Do written by Ken Bain, we learn about how college student goes through rough times in their college life. The author brings up a common issue that occurs in the academic life of college students. It is the need of having self confidence and self esteem. Bain believes that if a student loves and admires themselves it will give the student a better advantage of having a well-being lifestyle than all their other peers that are having difficulties. Many college students focus mainly on their grades other than the knowledges that they are learning in class. The idea of having perfect grades in all the subjects are limiting the students from approaching activities that they might be interested.
The Professional Development Plan for Nursing Graduates is a program that was started by the government with the aims of creating a smooth transition from the student experience to workplace experience. Despite having learnt several ethical and professional contents, the professional development plan ensures that, all the graduate nurses have a smooth transition that ensures they deliver quality and standard services as expected of them (Gordon & Franklin, 2003). Under the nursing professional plan, the nurses are supposed to bring together personal and professional skills in order to improve the quality of the nursing practice in the country. One of the most important considerations before embarking on the development plan is to ensure that the graduate has all the relevant skills in terms of academic, professional and personal qualifications. Under the personal qualifications, the nursing graduates should make sure that their ethical and moral standards are compliant with the ethical guidelines as well as with the ethical traits expected of them by the society (Trossman, 1999).
The effects on nursing education includes a growth in the number of higher cadre of nurses equipped with leadership and community health skills and knowledge. Institutions with higher trained nurses have recorded less mortality rate (AACN, 2014). The growth in number of nurses would positively impact on the nursing shortage thus leading to improvement on care outcome (AACN, 2014). The training institution require nurses at doctorate level thus the initiative to double the existing number will assist the institution prepare adequately for the growing number of students (IOM,

This is a research paper conducted on the very highly pursuited field of nursing. Nursing is a profession in the healthcare field that focuses or assisting others. Not to mention, nurses are heroes because of the many lives they save every day. This is an example that one doesn’t need tights or a cape to be a hero. Never the less, there are many reasons one may want to become nurse. Some of those reasons may be for personal gain or the greater good. However, before becoming a nurse one needs to be educated about educational requirements, licenses and certifications, projected salaries, and the projected job outlook for the next five – ten years for nursing. This research paper will provide thorough information on those four major aspects of
This paper serves to inform individuals about the benefits, challenges and education facing nurses. In the review of literature, one source is obtained from the SVSU database which describe the benefits of nursing; two additional SVSU database sources will also describe the challenges. In addition, a case study is evaluated, which shows the correlation between the career and the pass/failure of the NCLEX-RN exam. This paper concludes with an analysis of the information gathered, showing why nursing is a field that others should consider as a career.
When pursuing a career in nursing, one must first understand that nursing, in itself, is a
In this paper I will be discussing the three questions: what does nursing mean to me? What are some of the challenges you will face as a new nurse after graduation? As a nursing professional, where do you see yourself in five years?
The ongoing education and training which supports the nursing as a profession must be maintained. The self-concept of nurses is enormously important in maintaining a professional identity.
Nursing has always been a key career in the health care system. Although it is not often focused on in media and stories surrounding health care, nursing is a career of great importance. If any patient was asked about their experience at a hospital or a care center, many will mention the capability and care that they received from the nurses. The health care system could not function efficiently, if at all, if nurses were not present to perform their part. Nurses are more than just physicians support staff. Of interest in this paper is why people choose to study nursing in university or college. From students just graduating high school to mature student who have prior degrees or education, nursing is a popular choice as a path to study
Learning is considered a long term goal as it helps in continuity and evolution professionally (Thibault, 2011). It is important for me to be updated for best possible care provision. I will achieve this by developing interest to study towards attainment of highest levels of education for example PHD programs, attending education forums hosted by different universities, workshops and health seminars. My other long term ambitions include joining nurses’ professional organizations, administration duties and management skill acquisition and job promotions.
It’s been my desire, longing for a nursing career since I was in my primary and secondary school. At the age of 12, I began to look after children and baby-sitting then, from there, I gained the understanding of how to deal with children. Nursing is one of the highly demanding careers that bring new challenges every day and it comes with various rewards and a real sense of job satisfaction. I chose nursing because it is a profession where you never really finish learning. It has been my dream job since my tender age. Seeing nurses visiting my school treating students, immunisation, teaching us about health and sexual health issues, this encouraged me. My goal and desire at that age have been to help people within the Health sector. That is how; I decided to go to college where I am currently doing my Access to Higher Education Diploma (Science), which involves Biology and Chemistry. I chose this pathway because I want to gain the relevant skills and knowledge of my career to be. As someone who wants to become a nurse, I found biology as an important role in the delivery of client car...
My studies of Bachelor Degree in nursing will provide the knowledge I need to be successful in my nursing career. In my previous experience in college, I learned basic knowledge and the necessary skills to work in a healthcare environment as a nurse. A nurse has a lot of specialties, each with its own challenges and achievements. For example, while I was in my internships for registered nurse, I discovered that I love to work with elderly people. Then, I choose to work in home health care, to provide professional and emotional support for those who care for us for many years and now need our understanding, love, and excellent patient care. My first experience was to work in a nursing home, assists patients with bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, transfers and ambulation, some of the fundamental tasks a nurse must know. Even though I confessed I was nervous because my professor was beside me evaluating my basic nursing techniques, I enjoyed the fact that I was helping the patient to feel comfortable and secure with my care. Later, during my nursing career I felt confident about my performance as a nurse. I learned that one
Issues and trends in the nursing profession are constantly changing due to discoveries in technology and research, changes in reimbursement and legislation, and the changing needs of our population; in fact the only constant in healthcare is change. This course has provided me with a foundation and better understanding of the need for higher education to empower nurses to become leaders and help shape the future of the nursing profession. Nurses are the “backbone” of healthcare and this is becoming more evident with the changes we are currently seeing in the healthcare industry.
