Keep hearing: ‘you’ve been picked for this course for a reason, we know you can do it’ but honestly it just feels unachievable today 😩 I just want to be a great nurse

Nearly the end of week 2 of placement and I love it! I’ve been given the opportunity to remove stitches, practice ANTT and make up IVs. Having a supportive supervisor makes all the difference and I’m so grateful for her #studentnurse

Healthcare assistants are absolute angels sent to earth, can’t believe their pay for what they do (realise I’m late to the party but it’s really hit home on this placement)

So very important. Kathryn Mannix talks beautifully about this in her book ‘With the end in mind’. A must-read for all healthcare professionals. #ItsTimeToTalkAboutDying

Called my next placement and they: 1. called back when they said they would 2.gave me my shifts 3. knew who I was …what is this sorcery?

Almost pulled the emergency buzzer today because the patient was vomiting what looked like massive blood clots…turns out she’d just been eating plums…oops

This week was hard. Spent the day with the wonderful Macmillan team but forgot it would have been my beautiful auntie’s 60th birthday on the same day. She died of bowel cancer at 56 and is the reason I decided to re-train as a nurse so here she is

Part of my ‘job’ today on placement was playing with the cutest 1 year old while his mum went for a CT scan and honestly it was the best day ever
