Nursing

There are many rituals and superstitions that don’t have scientific basis but take place quite a lot in nursing. It is arguable that no greater issue is as emotive or associated with ritual as death.

As nurses and student nurses we get used to being put in some quite extraordinary places. There are times when we can become almost immune to these unique situations

It will come as no great surprise, I am sure, that I decided to enter nursing because I wanted to have one-to-one contact with patients and actually feel as if I was making a positive difference to their lives.

After a lot of planning and collaboration with other student nurses, I created the Student Nursing Times Podcast. Here is the first episode from May 2012.

I thought I would share the promos I made for the student nursing times Podcast back in 2012 to get you ready for when I share the actual episodes I made in collaboration with other students. A little glimmer into the past!

While on placement at an emergency ward last year I was conducting my routine observations when I heard a commotion behind the nurses’ station. Apparently, one of the healthcare assistants had come across some images on a patient’s mobile phone. Indecent images of children.
