I'm gonna tell you all about it because it's amazing If you don't already know get down on the links. Have a look see what we're all about and be amazed So the student nurse project was set up by Daniel Goodin who is fantastic and he had this idea in his head Which has just turned out to be amazing and he gathered together some people that he thought would be good for the project Basically a community of student nurses and newly qualified nurses with different expertise in different areas different fields of nursing So we've got child adult mental health at the minute. We've got a midwife coming in Secret info top news. Come on. We've got a midwife coming in I'm so excited for the midwife because I love working alongside people that are completely out of my Expertise because I love learning from you and we have to work with everybody We have to work in all fields no matter what field you are You're gonna be working alongside all of these different people and you're gonna need some expertise from these people our aims are We're basically an online space.

We have different social media platforms So a very big open online space as a valuable resource for student nurses throughout their career And we're there to encourage to motivate to bring back the positivity in nursing We're also there to recognize the weaknesses and the things that don't go right So we're there to help and advise give hints tips Encourage social media use as well because we're always taught from the beginning Social media is a bad thing But we are here to tell you how amazing social media is and if used in the right way It can be a really great social media platform for you Oh, that's basically the lowdown of the student nurse project the student nurse project started on the 1st of February 2018 and I've loved it. I've really really got involved. It's just been great To work alongside some like-minded people that are all fantastic They've all got their different qualities that they bring to the team So one person's weakness is another person's strength and we kind of mold together like this amazing jigsaw piece And that is what the student nurse project is and we're there to help other students because we're all so passionate about nursing And we're also we've all got pieces of knowledge that we have inside of us to give to other student nurses Whether you're just starting out whether you're a third year whether you're a second year first year any year Whatever stage you are during your nursing journey. We're here to help That's what Dan wanted from the project You know, he wanted a group of future nursing leaders to be there for other students and to help each other because it's a tough journey You know, it's not all easy in this nursing journey So we want something to bring to you to help you in whatever way we can support you through everything We've got our own website So go and have a look the links are below. Take a look at the blogs that we've written We all sort of take it in turns to write blogs and put them out there Anything we think that might be useful to a student or if we get a lot of questions coming in then we put it into blogs for students to read which is really useful I think because as a student nurse I myself even though I'm in second year But I still go out looking for other people's blogs. I love watching people's blogs as well So anything I mean, I'm still learning I'm still researching even when I'm even when you're qualified You're still gonna want to know things. You don't know it all Nobody knows it all even top consultants don't know it all and they will get advice from each other even from nurses I've seen consultants ask nurses. Oh my god. I've never seen this before Have you got any idea about this and they'll be like, yeah, I see this all the time So it just depends what area you're working in as well Different areas have different expertise and if we can all just bring and put that into one space I think it's amazing.
