I been a qualified nurse for 16 years and never forget the most toxic placement and mentor on my final placement. Every day was bullying, lazy staff and a real toxic environment. All my other placements were great. Now when I have students I always ensure I do my best for the student allocated to me.
@LondonNurse. Have followed your videos for a while and love the help and advice, do you have any words of wisdom about Simulated Practice Learning environments and how students can make the best out of them
Hey @nicguthrie5240! That’s so great to hear. I’m pleased they help. I need to get back into creating and your idea is a great one… I’ll get planning a video! 🙏🏻
@@TheLondonNurse i am actually a Nursing lecturer and use some of your videos for the students. We have just started the Simulated learning placement and words of advice would be well received
Really need some advice! I completed my first year and the beginning of second year but I had to drop out due to mental health reasons. I have now applied for a new university closer to me to study Nursing again, however they said my entry requirements were too low meaning that I would have to do a foundation year. I know I'm more than capable to do the degree as I have done a year already. But can I really go 4 years until I get my degree? I am 22 almost 23, I just feel like my time is running out it probably sounds silly to those who are just getting started at an older age. But I do regret leaving its just the thought of being 27 when I qualify as well as the financial side of it. Any advice pleaseee
Hello Saoirse! Thanks so much for reaching out about this. Firstly, good on you for taking the time you needed and deserved for your mental health! What a great advocate you are. Well done you!! And it is great to see you are coming back to healthcare 🥰 No one thinks you sound silly; you are being practical, and you have your own personal situation. The benefit to being older when you qualify will stand you in good stead for having more life experience, so that is always very beneficial (nothing can buy that!)... So ok, if this is the case, that you will take 4 years to do your training and financially would struggle, have you thought about the apprentice route? It is called 'Registered Nurse Degree Apprenticeship' and it is a 4 year pathway...benefit: you get paid! You will also be based in a hospital and so get exposed to so much clinical activity that being 27 and worked for the last 4 years in a hospital... everyone will want you! 🤗 Check it out at the bottom of the page here: www.healthcareers.nhs.uk/explore-roles/nursing/how-become-nurse Very happy to chat more if you need to! Love and respect, Ben
