Paige Rivers followed her dream after years of hospital treatment
A young woman who suffered from anorexia from a young age turned her life around to follow her dream of becoming a nurse after the treatment she received in hospital changed her perspective on life.
“I completed my GCSE’s in hospital, I taught myself everything.” But when Paige was 17, she began with mental health problems due to her low weight and the fact she had been tube fed for a long time which had ‘caused a lot of issues’. After completing her A-levels in hospital, Paige decided to apply to study medicine at university and secured her place on a medicine course. But, after her time spent in Intensive Care Unit “being that physically unwell and having the nurses save my life, that’s when I was like ‘I want to do that.”
Paige spoke about her favourite thing about nursing as she told the ECHO: “What you do as a nurse really changes a patient's outlook or even just their day and that's the most valuable thing to me that you don't have to be brilliant at everything to make a big difference as a nurse.”
