Gemma 💙

First appraisal completed. Went well and was lovely to have some compliments ☺️

@ruth_rawson I have paid my first year quarterly. I begrudge paying but it's a little less of a lump sum

I’ve not got my head around the idea of an annual subscription fee to be a #nurse - but it should be free of charge to apply for your PIN - as a congratulations! I mean who finishes the degree with spare money?! #studentnurse

Hitting the 12 month dip early 🤣 nearly 11 months qualified and feel worse than my first few weeks 👌

@NurseLP76 @sathNHS I might see you soon x

Graduated today! 🎓 I wasn't going to attend but so glad I did, but all I can think about is how horrendous I look at the moment! Anyway, I have set some goals for the future, now it's time to go get them!

@StudentMHNCG We never got a badge ceremony, oh to be the covid cohort.

@StudentMHNCG @NurseEd_MH @lynnewalsall It's alright you might bump into me instead 🤣

Really struggling with post covid fatigue, we are 4 weeks since I tested positive and I am struggling 😔 a trip to the doctor might be in order. I hate you covid, thanks for the rattly chest, SOB and fatigue 😩

Sat eating a curry on my break, forgot I can't taste spicy 🤣

After covid and a chest infection I finally feel I can breath a little easier. Hoping to get back to work this week after nearly 3 weeks off 😫 I feel so guilty for being ill!

I have a chest infection now, thanks covid ✌️ off work for a bit longer

Still positive 👍 but feeling a million times better!

@ruth_rawson Well done Ruth!

Dissertation results are in 🎉🥳!!! #studentnurse

It has finally caught up with me 😫

So anxious about work tomorrow and have no actual reason why. This is the worse as I can't rationalise with myself, because I don't know why I am anxious 😭

@abbienorman10 3 maybe 4 shifts

The last few weeks have been a massive turning point. My manager called me in the office yesterday, I thought I was in trouble 🤣 she said I have developed so much recently. I have become a tissue viability link nurse and a supervisor with the last few weeks 😍

@green_scrubs @WeNurses @WeStudentNurse @StNurseProject I have been qualified 7 months, I am now a supervisor and I love it. I have had students since I was no longer supernumerary. I had such a bad experience as a student and I promised myself that would never happen to other students. And I love teaching 😄

Interested in what everyone’s thoughts are on a NQN (6 months qualified) being a practice supervisor for a student nurse? @WeNurses @WeStudentNurse @StNurseProject

Currently questioning my life choices and considering if I really need all the stress I have 😔

Hello annual leave! One week of nothing! Let's hope my brain can switch off this time!
