Nursing with Registration as a Children's Nurse
Hey! I’m Basirah, a third-year Nursing student at King’s College London. When I started uni, I had so many questions and wasn’t always sure where I’d find my place — but getting involved in societies like the Afro Caribbean Medical Society (ACMS) and The Nightingale Society really helped me find my community. I’m passionate about caring for others and making sure people feel seen, especially in healthcare spaces. If you’re thinking about coming to KCL or just figuring things out, I’d love to share my experiences and help however I can!
