What a way to finish my 2nd year of training 🥰 #PUNC21 #wedding #studnetnurse #PUNC14 #married #student

[Meryl Toogood @Meryl_PUNC21]

Absolutely don’t recommend planning a wedding whilst doing a nursing degree - however I had the BEST hen do this weekend 🪩 cannot believe I’m getting married next week! #PUNC21 #studentnurse #PUNC14 #UoP #student

[Meryl Toogood @Meryl_PUNC21]

@STN_Chlo Ah if I didn’t live so far away then I would! Thank you though 😊

[Meryl Toogood @Meryl_PUNC21]

One thing I’ve learnt from todays #NRS501 seminar - i need help & lots of it 😫 #pathophysiology #PUNC21

[Meryl Toogood @Meryl_PUNC21]

@STN_Chlo I didn’t know about this (although I’m now working 😅) Is it Plymouth based? X

[Meryl Toogood @Meryl_PUNC21]

Any slight hints as to when #NRS503 results may be available? - asking for a friend who’s results may or may not determine the amount of emotional eating that takes place over the (very needed) Christmas break 🤭 #punc21

[Meryl Toogood @Meryl_PUNC21]

@EmmaPUNC21 And I wait until 10 minutes before starting a shift until I go in for handover so I’m not stood like a lemon 🤣

[Meryl Toogood @Meryl_PUNC21]

@EmmaPUNC21 That’s exactly why I take my breaks in my car 😇

[Meryl Toogood @Meryl_PUNC21]

Any tips for surviving my first night shift!? Haven’t done one in nearly 6 years & have match sticks at the ready 😴 #PUNC21 #puncplacement

[Meryl Toogood @Meryl_PUNC21]

Not everyday you can say ‘I held resected human intestine - then went for my lunch break!’
LOVING placement so far 🤩

Really getting into #NRS503! Can you tell by the 1863 tabs I have open 🤭 #PUNC21 #Healthpromotion

[Meryl Toogood @Meryl_PUNC21]

Just had an email through about SPOKE days for my first surgical placement!🤩 Looking forward to meeting some other 2nd years from the Plym cohort too🥳 #PUNC21 #Placement #Studentnurse

[Meryl Toogood @Meryl_PUNC21]

Day 1 of #NRS502 - let’s do this!🧐

Think Pups is pretty interested too 🐶

[Meryl Toogood @Meryl_PUNC21]

Ready for the first day of 2nd year lectures! So glad I’ve been able to create my own space in our new home rather than take over the dining table every time 😅 #punc21 #2ndyearstudent

Did you know that each 12 hour shift on placement costs a student nurse a minimum of £186 in tuition fees and lost earnings? Crazy.
That’s before paying for fuel to get there at nearly £2/litre.
Something needs to change.

@BeastLighter No thanks!

[Meryl Toogood @Meryl_PUNC21]

Keep telling myself I need to properly get started on the #NRS416 assignment - but this cute little face & 2 kiddos at home is far too distracting 🤭 #PUNC21

[Meryl Toogood @Meryl_PUNC21]

When your assessor arrives at your door with these as you haven’t seen her for nearly 2 weeks due to COVID 😭

Can I PLEASE keep her for the rest of my degree!?🥰

[Meryl Toogood @Meryl_PUNC21]

@punc21lisa I’ve been off this week and will be off next week due to COVID being in my household - but have been told not to worry as we’ll have plenty of time to make up hours if needs be as we’re still early on in the course ☺️

[Meryl Toogood @Meryl_PUNC21]

@BrittanyFerries I’m trying to use my RCN that expires this year - each time I enter the code, your website says it is invalid. I don’t seem to be getting any answers via email nor being able to get through via phone.

Any advice would be appreciated please 🤞🏼
