@RCNGPNForum @NQPUNCs @Gpnsnn Yes it went well Thankyou. I’ve started to really realise the depth and breadth of knowledge and skill required as a GPN. I’m currently experiencing a good mix of excitement and trepidation for the coming journey!

@PUNC18_Lee here helping to curate the NQPUNCS account!

I've just started my new job as a GPN. How many others are out there from #punc19 that have started, or ready to start their new jobs!? Where are you working?

Today was my first day working as a NQGPN. Although I’m still awaiting my PIN, I’ve been able to view the role in an entirely different way today.
I have worked in GP since 1998, the last 12 years as a HCA, but today was really the first day I appreciated the breadth…

[Newly Qualified PUNCs @NQPUNCs]

Good luck Lee on your first day! 🥳

[Lee Collins GPN (also available on Bluesky) @PUNC18_Lee]

Gooood morning!
Today is day 1 of my new job as a NQGPN and I’m starting as I mean to go on. I haven’t been out for a run for a good 2-3 months, and now’s the time to start! #NursesActive #nqn #nqgpn @NQPUNCs @Gpnsnn

We are still looking for some more people to help run the NQPUNCS Twitter account 🤩 If you are a 3rd year PUNC about to qualify, give us a message!

[Newly Qualified PUNCs @NQPUNCs]

We are about to have lots of lovely new PUNC preceptors start work soon 🤩 If you’re a 3rd year, would you mind sharing with us where you’re going and what are you looking for in a preceptorship?

Right, so I start my new job as a #traineegpn on Monday.Still awaiting my PIN (boo!), so will be on HCA duties until that comes through.
Any new starter tips? #gpn #nqn #nqgpn #newcareer #exciting @NQPUNCs

[Newly Qualified PUNCs @NQPUNCs]

Seeing lots of the #PUNC18 cohort reaching their 1 year qualified milestone 🥳 How are you feeling about being a year (or coming up to a year) qualified? What advice would you give to those about to start their NQN journey? @PUNC14 #PUNC19 #NQN #NewlyQualifiedNurse #NurseTwitter

Yesterday we had a full team and it meant being able to spend quality time with the patients. Spent 1.5 hours on a 1:1 care planning and talking about life. We managed to get most patients out on leave too. Those are the best moments of the job! 💛👩🏽‍⚕️#MentalHealthNursing #acute

@PUNCJasmine on the account for a while - thanks @PUNC18_Roxzan 🌻🌻
What have you got planned today? I’ve had such a busy and tiring week, so I’m having a quiet day at home.

[Newly Qualified PUNCs @NQPUNCs]

How is everyone doing in this heat? Working during the heat is the worst!
I am coming to the end of my first year as a #NQN and just got an offer of a new job! How have other #preceptors handled the transition?

[Newly Qualified PUNCs @NQPUNCs]

A year ago today I achieved the 2300 hours needed to become a nurse?! For those worried about hours, it all works out in the end!
I am hopefully being signed off my preceptorship tomorrow 😬 Not sure how to feel… #preceptorship #NQN

[Newly Qualified PUNCs @NQPUNCs]

Ps. Not real blood

[Newly Qualified PUNCs @NQPUNCs]

@PUNC18_Roxzan here 👋🏽Completed venepuncture training today and looking forward to gaining confidence on the ward.
I will be signed off of my #preceptorship next month and that is just crazy to believe! How has everyone found the transition? #NQN

[Newly Qualified PUNCs @NQPUNCs]

I’m getting all my things together for the final meeting of my preceptorship… can’t believe it’s been a year. How is everyone coping with the new cohort joining the workforce soon? I still feel like an imposter 😂 #NQN

[Newly Qualified PUNCs @NQPUNCs]

I’m enjoying a nice stretch of 7 days off before starting 3 nights over the weekend. How is everyone celebrating the Jubilee? #NQN #jubilee2022

[Newly Qualified PUNCs @NQPUNCs]

@PUNC18_Roxzan on the account for a while. Night 1/3 complete! How is everyone’s #preceptorship going? Are you taking the full year or already signed off? #NQN
