http://thestudentnurseconverse.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Life as a Student Nurse. Wednesday, 17 April 2013. Finally getting our hands dirty.or clean. Nursing Practicals! So this week we've finally been able to get started on the exciting things - practicals. Yeah! So, lesson number one is to chop off my long-ish nails. As awful as that is to me, they have to go! These are the places where most of us missed, and in fact most people miss when washing. Not good when you consider how easily those germs can be passed on. She also shared this with us:. The next sess...

The Student Nurse Converse: June 2013
http://thestudentnurseconverse.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Life as a Student Nurse. Thursday, 27 June 2013. Over the last few weeks we've had more interesting practical sessions where we covered bed making, personal care (helping to clean a patient), vital observations, injection technique and poo/urinalysis (yum! All very 'nursey' things to learn and finally a little time out of the lecture theatres. I swear bed making sounds easy. Our tutor is an ex-army nurse and takes hospital corners faaaar too seriously! I have delivered (how detached does that sound?

The Student Nurse Converse: More Nursing Goodies: Littmann Stethoscope and Nursing Dictionary
http://thestudentnurseconverse.blogspot.com/2013/01/more-nursing-goodies-littman.html
Life as a Student Nurse. Saturday, 12 January 2013. More Nursing Goodies: Littmann Stethoscope and Nursing Dictionary. I just thought I'd post a picture of one of my favourite Christmas gifts - a Littmann Classic II SE Stethoscope. My Mam got it engraved with my name so that no one pinches it - apparently that happens rather frequently. And she got it in ocean blue which is my favourite colour! 14 January 2013 at 01:36. 14 January 2013 at 14:03. 20 May 2013 at 13:05. 1 July 2013 at 07:11. More Nursing Go...

Life as a Student Nurse. Monday, 23 September 2013. Make-up for Nursing Placements. So this is a slightly random one but a blog post that I would have been interested in reading when I first started in March.

The Student Nurse Converse: Taboo subject? Under-age sex and sexual health.
http://thestudentnurseconverse.blogspot.com/2014/02/taboo-subject-under-age-sex-and-sexual.html
Life as a Student Nurse. Saturday, 22 February 2014. Under-age sex and sexual health. Bit of a random post really but one of the experiences I had during my 2 week spoke placement in a sexual health clinic really got me thinking. (Everything I say here will be protecting the person's identity in line with the NMC Code.). I most certainly wasn't. I was too busy living out my childhood, playing kerbsies, riding my bike, playing netball, meeting with friends.you know, just being a normal young nearl...So th...

Life as a Student Nurse. Wednesday, 10 September 2014. A Long Overdue Catch-up. WellI hang my head in shame since it's been around 7 months since I last posted but I have had a tonne going on, and still have really so this will be very brief.

Life as a Student Nurse. Sunday, 26 January 2014. My First Week of Final Nursing Placement - Year One. Day 1 - Early shift. Today was my first day back to this placement since September.
