Becoming An Adult Nurse

My name is Jochebed Nsiah Konadu Buakar, and I have aspired to become an Adult Nurse for as long as I can remember. I am thrilled to announce that I have secured a place to study Adult Nursing at Coventry University. In 2018, I completed my Access to Higher Education Diploma (Nursing & Midwifery) studies, where I earned 12 Merits and 33 Distinctions, despite encountering several obstacles.

While I applied for Student Finance England in 2018 and 2020, I was denied on both occasions due to my circumstances as an EU dependent with insufficient income. As a result, I worked as a caregiver to support myself and my dependent, leading Student Finance to classify me as an independent student, capable of self-funding. However, my financial challenges have not deterred me from pursuing my education and career goals.  

As a first-year adult nursing student at Coventry University, I recently completed my placement amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Unfortunately, I am currently struggling to pay my tuition and accommodation fees, which remain outstanding. Despite the university's reminders, the unpaid fees are a significant source of distress, and worry which resulted in me being permanently withdrawn from the program. 

I acknowledge that acquiring a loan and accumulating debt is a daunting prospect as a 23-year-old student, but I remain committed to achieving my dream of becoming a licensed adult nurse.

To clarify, the total cost of my tuition and accommodation fees for the remaining year of my course is £13,930:

University Tuition Fee: £ 9250
Accommodation: £ 4680

I am deeply grateful for the support of those who have accompanied me on this journey.

Thank you for your blessings and encouragement. The total cost of the course amounts to £13,930, covering the entire year.
