"My age didn't matter, my motivation and interest were especially important. After shadowing for a day at Gertrudis in 's Heerenberg, I knew for sure that I wanted to follow the training. I advise everyone who is interested in a BBL track: shadow for a day and experience whether working in healthcare suits you." Thus, Bianca, Nursing Apprentice.
