Jasmine completed undergraduate studies in dual-field adult and mental health nursing in 2018. While completing her undergraduate study, Jasmine worked as a healthcare support worker to gain experience in nursing outside of placement. Before starting undergraduate studies Jasmine volunteered at MK Snap which provides a leading programme of education, life skills, work preparation and opportunities for work to adults aged 18+ with learning disabilities, giving them the skills to realise their potential and Brook which provides sexual health education and advice to young people 25 and under.
Post-Registration, Jasmine worked in acute settings with adults and children with mental ill health, covering inpatient eating disorders, general psychiatric and community child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS). In these roles, Jasmine was the physical health lead using her dual-field qualification to benefit patient outcomes.
During this time, she joined the University of Southampton Faculty of Health Sciences, teaching clinical skills in undergraduate and post-graduate nursing programmes. She gained a Master's Level in 2020 in clinical and health research.
In 2021, Jasmine joined the School of Health Sciences as a Senior Teaching Fellow. In 2023, Jasmine took on the role of Masters of Nursing Programme Lead.
She is a peer reviewer for the Journal of Clinical Nursing and NIHR.
Jasmine created the Dual-Field Nurses UK network which is a network to support programme teams and nurses who are registered in more than one field of nursing.
Jasmine is passionate about supporting student nurses through their careers and supporting future nurses to feel empowered and competent in their role to increase job satisfaction.
