@ArgosHelpers how to a speak to a real person rather than a bot? Because im going round in circles. I've tried chat, I've tried phoning and I've tried messaging on here, I dont seem to be able to actually speak to a person!

[Clare C @ClareCemm_punc]

@SianThePUNC21 Ah thank you. Hadn't even thought about childrens air ambulance! PICU sounds great too, just worry that I'd be a little out of my depth, but I guess it's all learning. X

[Clare C @ClareCemm_punc]

Starting thinking about optional placement. Thinking bristol childrens maybe cardiology or to childrens hospice? What have other child health student nurses done? #punc22 #punc21 #optionalplacement #studentnurse #cypstudentnurse #childhealthnursing #plymuni #snamplymouth

Last day of placement tomorrow! My health visiting team bought me this planter as a thank you. They said they'd never had a student they'd bought a gift for before. Apparently, I made quite the impression. Such a nice gesture! I paid them in cake 🥰 #punc22 #placement #cypstudent

[Clare C @ClareCemm_punc]

@PUNC22elle You did it!! You are super woman. Xxx

[Clare C @ClareCemm_punc]

@PUNC22elle Fingers crossed for you xx

[Clare C @ClareCemm_punc]

@PUNC22elle You need to look after yourself! Take the time out that you need to recuperate so that you can come back stronger, You've got this!! Xx 💪

[Clare C @ClareCemm_punc]

At what point when looking after a patient do you take the family concerns into consideration? Today,nursing staff looking after my nan didn't want to hear anything I had to say, despite Nan deteriorating in front of them,after 4hrs, they finally listened.
I won't be that nurse!

Placement number 2 starts today. I don't think I've slept a wink, serious overthinking everything and not even Placement related. I'm exhausted and we haven't even started the day 😴😭

[Clare C @ClareCemm_punc]

@PUNC22elle I've spent the whole morning refreshing 🤣😂

Happy World Down Syndrome Day 🥳

Last day of placement complete! Nice early shift to finish the week. Had a great time, and it's reinforced why I want to be a nurse! Worked alongside newly qualified nurses, and they were amazing to learn from despite them still learning themselves! #punc22 #cypnursing #student

[Clare C @ClareCemm_punc]

I am so grateful for the friends I have made at uni. We are just the best support for each other when we need it!! Couldn't do it without my girls!! #punc22 #plymuni #InternationalWomensDay

[Clare C @ClareCemm_punc]

@PUNCAliceStN Thanks that's really good advice. 👍 🙂

[Clare C @ClareCemm_punc]

#NRS411 is literally my living nightmare at the moment. Communication with patients comes easily to me, yet I can not communicate on paper 😭

[Clare C @ClareCemm_punc]

@PUNC22elle Ditto

[Clare C @ClareCemm_punc]

Managed to get 4 weeks through placement without picking up anything. But today, I have succumbed to a cold! #paednursing #punc22 #cypnursing #studentnurse

[Clare C @ClareCemm_punc]

3rd day of placement done. Really mixed days in terms of what I've seen, demonstrating how quickly things change on the ward, and with kids.
Loving it! Hoping now I've settled I can start getting my head around the commonly used drugs.

[Clare C @ClareCemm_punc]

Great first day on placement real mix of things happening, my feet are fine, but by golly do my legs hurt 🤣
Crashed into bed, with a cuppa ☕️ ready for another early start, day 2 pending!

Kids are packed off to their grandparents for the next couple of days. Placement bag packed. This time tomorrow the first day will all be over. Looking forward to getting started on this placement 😁😳
