    Congrats on the new job Claire! I hope it gives you you time to recharge. It is so hard at the moment, going out to placements that are hugely understaffed, I can see the nurses and the whole team struggling and wonder how I will do.... I want to see your new furball! I have a cat as well and he is my all (much to my partners dismay lol)

    No one deserves or should get harassed regardless of the profession they choose to pursue.
    Also, I wish there was a conversation about nursing outside of the NHS.
    Best of luck Claire.
    Hopefully will be beginning my nursing career soon.

      I think there should be discussions about working outside of the NHS too. As much as I love our NHS it’s important to explore the world of nursing 🥰💙

    Hey Clair, I'm a third year student nurse at Manchester. I'm very passionate about patient's health but I have become so drained since starting my degree as the pandemic hit. As a result of this on my physical and mental health, I am starting to think that nursing is not for me. Is this because I'm a student in these difficult times? Does it get better once you qualify? Please help

    • @ClaireCarmichael
      @ClaireCarmichael  Před 2 lety

      Hey! Aw I’m sorry you’re struggling right now. Please get all the help and support from uni and placement team that you can.
      It does get better. Sadly there’s a huge strain on healthcare services all over the UK right now :( this has been ongoing for years but the impact of the pandemic has just added to that.
      The beauty of nursing is, there’s so much variety and places you can work. So don’t give up 💙 xx
