The role of the Clinical Nurse Tutor

The role of the Clinical Nurse Tutor

In todays episode I am joined by my former clinical nurse tutor Kerry Rae from Lancashire Teaching Hospitals. We discuss Kerry's role and what she does day to day with our student nurses and also extra responsibilities taken on during COVID.

I really enjoyed having Kerry on as a guest as she helped me so much as a student and I will never forget the kindness she showed me when I really needed it. Not only that but the belief she gave me that I could be anything I wanted once I was qualified.

I hope you all enjoy listening to this :)

Facing a global pandemic as a newly qualified nurse

Facing a global pandemic as a newly qualified nurse

In today's episode I speak to Chloe Ahern about her experience facing the pandemic just 2 months after being qualified. Chloe works on a stroke rehab ward. We both can share our experiences as I had only been qualified for 6 months before the first wave hit. Similar in a lot of ways but also so different as we work in completely different settings. This makes for a very interesting listen.

Please let me know your thoughts and if anyone is interested in recording an episode with me then please get in touch on twitter.
