The future is bright; the latest group of nursing degree students from University of Gloucestershire impress our St Faith's nursing home team. Kira, Monika, Becca and Takudza have successfully finished their fourteen week placement, with support from our nurses Sally, Pauline and Karen at St Faith's.
Monika explains, "We have really enjoyed every moment. We have learnt so much. The team has been amazing - supporting us every single day. It was the best placement I've ever had. I have felt very valued. We've seen how the nurses provide good leadership and we are learning every single day. The knowledge I have absorbed is mind blowing."
Karen Barry, our nurse commented, “We are really proud to be teaching and supporting the future nursing workforce. It's very rewarding to see them develop and grow in confidence and skill. It definitely enhances the care we provide.”
Our St Faith's nursing home has been working in partnership with the University of Gloucestershire for over five years offering placements to student nurses studying for their nursing degrees.
The partnership is so successful that Health Education England have invited the University of Gloucestershire to their national conference in July where they will be running a workshop with Lilian Faithfull Care.
The nursing students continue to be an inspiration and all the St Faith’s staff wish them every success in the future. We look forward to giving a warm welcome to the next group soon!
