Are you looking at studying nursing? Want to know what the wards are like and what practice placements entail?
Are you first year student about to start your first placement but not sure what to expect?
Are you on placement and having a hard time on the ward and need some advice?
Are you a 3rd year student nurse about to qualify and nervous about your first job or need advice on job hunting?
Any other questions also welcome!
I'm a qualified RN and have been qualified for nearly 3 years and have recently become a nurse mentor and will become a newly qualified nurse preceptor in the near future (just waiting the confirmation date for the course). I work on an acute medicine for the elderly ward and have done since qualifying, but worked in a wide range of areas as a student nurse and I also do the odd bank shift here and there.
