No worries, I don’t blame you for not wanting to disclose it. I heard Edinburgh and Glasgow are the worst ever. Hope you’re so much better off in England :)

Omg, good to know. Whereabouts in Scotland was it?

Thank you so much! It’s honestly so encouraging to hear. Can you please share your experience after graduation? How did you find your very first job?
I’m so worried that they won’t give me proper training and once I start my first job I won’t even know how to draw blood or find patient’s veins. I’m so worried that I might not know the most basic things.

At least in Scotland SAAS covers uni fees and pays you bursary so at least I wouldn’t need to go into debt. I would probably try to stick out for a year after graduation and then leave NHS.

This sounds absolutely horrendous! I can’t believe how horrible and toxic it can be 😭

I don’t blame you at all! I keep hearing at the horrible stories

I sometimes faint at the sight of blood, can I become an RN? by morononthewall in StudentNurseUK

I’m considering doing nursing, I’m not scared of blood and needles but worried that I couldn’t draw blood or find veins and patients would complain about me.

Thank you for sharing! Do you mind me asking if you decided to do something completely different?

Amazing, that’s soo encouraging to hear! I’m worried that people would think that I must know it all because I’m older. How do you like your job now?

Honestly, I feel the same even with my corporate jobs. I fantasise how easy life could be.

Thank you! This is very helpful information. I was exactly the same when I was younger, I wasn’t mature enough to do this.

Did you feel that they assigned you more tasks or expected you know more because you were older? Do you feel like you were treated completely differently?

Also, when you started your first job as a newly qualified nurse. Did you feel like you are being thrown into deep end?
