This story is about how cinema can radically change life once and for all. The actress, who played the role of nurses many times, decided that this was her real way. She received a medical education, but now every day she must prove to her patients, who know her from the series, that she is a real certified physician.
A peculiar type
Vicki Hall is a nurse at the Alexander Hospital in Redditch, UK, but until recently, her main job was filming a movie. Vicki began acting a long time ago, when the director invited her to the role of a nurse in the television series. The girl coped with the role brilliantly, and since then the role seemed to be “stuck” to her.
The directors said that Vika had a peculiar character of a kind fairy who helps people, so that the role of a physician fit her perfectly. The actress herself was not opposed, she was recognized on the streets and asked for autographs. She approached the performance of roles with all responsibility and soon realized that medicine is exactly what she would like to do in life. However, for this she needed to go to college again.
Movie roles and reality
The television series "Corey" was very popular in Britain. He earned his love from the audience precisely with his realism. The actors were so accustomed to their roles that no one had any doubts about their professionalism. Vicki Hall was also very convincing on the screen, but no one knew that the girl was already dreaming of turning her on-screen image into a real, real one.
I had to postpone my dream of studying for a medic Vicki. She got married, gave birth to children, there was no time for training. But, when the children grew up, the woman caught herself thinking that she still wants to connect her life with medicine. She was still offered the roles of nurses in the series, she agreed, but she already knew exactly what she would do with her life further.
Obtaining a nurse diploma
When Vicki entered medical college, she was faced with the conviction of other applicants. Many decided that a woman has an advantage, since she already gained a lot of knowledge during the filming. The admissions committee decided otherwise, and Vicki did. For three years she studied on a par with young students, at first feeling uncomfortable. Gradually, she became involved in the process, teachers and students supported her.
Soon, Vicki received a nurse diploma and had to undergo an internship at a local hospital. She was worried, because for the first time she needed not to play the role of a physician, but to perform this work in real life. The actress knew that it would not be easy, but that was exactly what she lacked. She threw away fear and plunged into the work with her head.
Work difficulties
After completing the practice and starting to work as a nurse in one of the clinics of Redditch, Vicki realized how far the acting game is from real medicine. Previously, the directors told her that she only had to be nice, smile at the patients and do some simple manipulations - that was their idea of the nurse's work. In fact, this work was many times more complicated and required maximum training, concentration and physical exertion from Vika.
However, the woman faced unexpected difficulties. Patients immediately recognized her and thought that they too were part of the television show. No one could immediately believe that Vicki was a real nurse, and not just an actress, playing the next role. The woman had to assure people that now she is a graduate and has the right to heal. Many reacted to this with distrust, but there were those who expressed their respect for the actress who wanted to devote herself to something more serious and useful for society.Now Vicki Hall continues to act in films, but successfully combines shooting with work in the hospital. She is happy that she has found her place in life, and wishes everyone not to be afraid, deciding to radically change their fate.
