So it is January, wow 2019 is here. Soon enough we will be in the 20’s! So this year I will qualify and honestly I am in-between terrified and excited.

Restart a Heart Day – A Reflection
As nurses, we all know basic life support, its our bread and butter of emergency care. However, we are not the only people capable of doing it!

If you suffer a cardiac arrest… Continue reading Restart a Heart Day – A Reflection
My promise for 2019? To be more real.
Over the last twelve months of my student nursing career I think it’s fair to say I’ve achieved a fair bit. I started my second year volunteering for an RCN photoshoot for the ‘One of Us’ campaign and it all kinda snowballed from there.

I grew… Continue reading Compassion and creativity – the art of nursing

One thing I worried about before starting university was assignments and how to even write them! I wasn’t academic at all and this was causing me a lot of anxiety for starting off. Firstly, don’t panic! It’s not as bad as it all seems honestly. I didn’t have a clue to start with, my assignment… Continue reading Assignment Tips
What to do when you don’t know what to do.
Many student nurses know exactly where they want to work, some have a vague idea and others absolutely none. When you first start out, there is little pressure to have decided (although you will be asked repeatedly during your education). However, as the countdown to newly qualified nurse commences, the pressure to know your destiny… Continue reading What to do when you don’t know what to do.
