King Charles burst into laughter as he attempted to perform CPR on a medical test mannequin at the Royal College of Nursing this morning. The 76-year-old monarch giggled as he placed his hands on the mannequin and performed the life-saving manoeuvre on a visit to the organisation to celebrate the 1,000th RCN King’s Nursing Cadet.
Inspired by The then Prince of Wales’ idea to help cadets acquire new skills and assist in areas such as healthcare, The Royal College of Nursing’s (RCN) King’s Nursing Cadet Scheme aims to help young people develop essential skills needed to start a career in nursing. During his visit, Charles met cadets from across the UK who are undertaking or have completed the nursing cadet programme, which allows cadets to carry out 40 hours of teaching and learning experience plus 20 hours of clinical observation in a healthcare environment.
During the visit, the King observed adets taking part in practical learning scenarios, demonstrating some of the skills they have acquired during the programme.
