@Asha_92x I think this is a sign of where to work!

@tzijlstra Plum jam! I make it every year with my supply 😍

• Government: “we will raise NHS staff pay by 3%

• Truth: “Inflation is 2% & the government have just raised taxes on nurses by 1.25%”

The government have cut NHS staff pay

@ACU_CRHFT This looks great! By the time it opens I’ll be into my 2nd of qualifying as a nurse, looking forward to being able to pick up extra shifts here 🤞

@007_nurse @StNurseProject @WeStudentNurse Depends what Uni you are with. Which in itself I think is unfair that some unis technically require more hours of their student than others. Some unis take breaks as worked hours.

@justine36787355 Congratulations 😍 hope everything goes well! I’m sure you’ll smash it as always babe! Xx

@StNurseProject More variety of placements. 3 of each field. Making it fair experience

[Leia Radford @LeiaSmart]

@silviarice I’ve done all those inset days. Most of our placements are at the same hospital, so the specialist teams are the same. I have repeated those inset days many times now. Also, with covid we can only do inset days when when the teams come onto our placement area

[Leia Radford @LeiaSmart]

@BurrowsRagan @ruth_rawson @StNurseProject Oh my gosh! Hope it’s a nice ward! Don’t know how much more you can learn for repeat placements. There’s such a variety of jobs out there in nursing, shame to hinder the future of nursing

@JLFphoto Looks more like a anatomical map to me 🤣

[Leia Radford @LeiaSmart]

@CharlotteRyan_9 @StNurseProject I did this last time I was there. Just feel like I’ve maxed out & having to start again.

[Leia Radford @LeiaSmart]

@StNEmily88 @StNurseProject No matter how the experience was. Not that I was even asked.

[Leia Radford @LeiaSmart]

@StNEmily88 @StNurseProject It appears at the moment like I have no choice what so ever. 😔

[Leia Radford @LeiaSmart]

@ruth_rawson @StNurseProject Yes! Exactly my point! I know I would never choose to work in this area, so why do I have to work here twice as part of my training?! 🤯

[Leia Radford @LeiaSmart]

@AnnGregoryRN @StNurseProject 🤞😔

[Leia Radford @LeiaSmart]

@texvillageidiot I’m all for resilience as part of training, but forcing students to be a part of a situation which they already had a bad experience of, with no support, makes for poor mental health

[Leia Radford @LeiaSmart]

@futurenursemum I’ve already asked. Not a very supportive response tbh 😭

[Leia Radford @LeiaSmart]

Genuinely can’t believe my academic progress over the past year. Going from re-subbing 2/3 assignments in year 1 feeling like I would never be good enough, to passing everything & highest score of 98% on final assignment in year 2 🤯 #studentNurse #UniLife #FutureNurse

@JaneTurnerStH Happy birthday Jane! 🥳

@tzijlstra For me, I wanted a university that the lecturers would know who I am, a more personal approach/approachable lecturing team. But I think for a lot of people distance from home is a big factor.
