Nursing Graduation Vlog

Nursing Graduation Vlog - 2.5 years later due to covid and we finally had our graduation day yay! Sadly my dad took ill and was in hospital and couldn't make it :( 

Tips for graduation: 
1. Get there early to avoid the queues. I got there 45mins early for registration and had lunch etc whilst I waited so that we had less waiting around. 
2. Take hair clips for your cap! I didn't and it was a nightmare to keep on. Luckily one of my friends gave me hers - THANK YOU! Saved my life haha. 
3. Wear something comfortable rather than fashion.. your gown covers you up anyway! 
4. Enjoy every minute of it! This is YOUR day to be proud of all you have achieved.
