Dyslexia:
Dyslexia is a general term for a disorder that involves difficulty in learning to read or interpret words, letters, and other symbols, but this does not affect general intelligence. Study shows that most people think that Dyslexia causes people to reverse letters and numbers and see words backward. Reversals do happen but this is a normal part of the development and is seen in most kids until they reach a bit older. This makes it hard to understand short or familiar words or to sound out longer words.

ADHD:
ADHD stands for attention deficit hyperactive disorder. It is a medical condition. A person with ADHD has differences within the brain development system and brain activity that affects attention, the ability to sit still, and self-control. ADHD can affect children and adults in school, at home, and in friendships. People diagnosed with ADHD have a harder time staying focused. ADHD can make it difficult to keep behavior under control. This means kids and teenagers may get into more trouble.

In the UK there is a high demand for registered general nurses, as over the years there has been staff shortages and the government has not heavily invested in this area, we live in an ageing population and with the COVID-19 pandemic the need for registered nurses has increased massively. This has resulted in nursing agencies offering roles to fill this gap, based on demand. While the transition to be an agency nurse may be simple, it takes a lot to be a great agency nurse.

Below we will be highlighting the main qualities required for agency nursing, where there is a demand for registered general nurses, registered learning disability nurses and registered mental nurse roles, below discover how to make a smooth transition into agency nursing.

A registered nurse has a lot of transferable skills developed over the years and through education. It is important that these skills are applied successfully within a work environment.
It is important that you are kind, caring and professional when dealing with your colleagues and patients to ensure the best care and support is provided.

Communication
One of the most important skills required for a registered nurse is communication skills, a nurse needs to be able to talk to individuals from different cultures. As well as talking to patients, you also need to communicate with family members, doctors and other healthcare staff, accurately and quickly. All parties need to understand patient’s needs and communicate effectively to ensure the best care and support is provided.

Kindness
With a nursing profession, it requires you to be a people person. You have to be compassionate, empathetic and have a genuine interest in helping people which is part of everyday work of a nurse. A patient and family members will experience a variety of emotions, therefore it is important that this is respected and the best support is provided.

Physical fitness
