Nursing is a very versatile field and the subjects I am currently studying have many links with adult nursing.Studying maths has developed my ability to stretch myself in terms of my numerical and problem solving skills and has improved my mental agility with numbers, fractions and general use of maths, which is ideally suited to nursing.Applied Biology is the most prominent subject in terms of links to nursing as all my units are situated around the anatomy of the human body.Ethical considerations are also a large part of psychology and are important values in the nursing profession.Mental health also forms part of my course and nurses must adapt to the ever growing mental disorders that are present in society.

Nursing is a very versatile field and the subjects I am currently studying have many links with adult nursing. Studying psychology has made me aware that the mental health of a patient is just as important as their physical well-being. I have learnt that the brain and the body are never in harmony, which can explain why we are such a diverse species in the way we act, or the beliefs we hold. It has made me aware that understanding human behaviour through individual and situational explanations is key to developing an appropriate treatment plan, to create a positive mind set, and therefore a good relationship with the patient. Ethical considerations are also a large part of psychology and are important values in the nursing profession. Mental health also forms part of my course and nurses must adapt to the ever growing mental disorders that are present in society. Studying maths has developed my ability to stretch myself in terms of my numerical and problem solving skills and has improved my mental agility with numbers, fractions and general use of maths, which is ideally suited to nursing. Applied Biology is the most prominent subject in terms of links to nursing as all my units are situated around the anatomy of the human body. It’s important to be aware of the biological processes that occur in the human body and why they are in place so as to explain the necessity of treatments to patients.
