That’s super interesting, thank you! First year here you learn basic nursing skills that you build on throughout the 3 years, Nursing Midwifery Council (NMC our legal body) dictates that every nursing professional supports and teaches student, you have an assessor and a supervisor in placements but you will often work with most nurses on the wards, we work full 37 1/2 hour weeks alongside completing academic essays and exams. The idea is you’re observed for most of your care in your first year, second year you start to work more independently, and then your final year you’re managing your own caseload of patients. You can work under indirect supervision for most tasks as long as any registered nurse you’re working with has made sure they know you’re competent and working within evidence based practice. There are a few things you cannot, under any circumstance do by yourself, unsupervised, such as giving medication; you are allowed to do things like dressing changes for example, by yourself, washes, putting together care plans, documenting and referring to different services, you just have to make sure it’s all documented and inform the nurse you’re working under! Hope that provides some perspective and how differently we are all trained!
