The Student Nursing Times Awards
June 9, 2022
This blog was written by the School interns. For this blog we are tracking back to the Student Nursing Times Awards (STNA) in October 2021 last year. It just so happened that when Alex and I started the internship, we stumbled upon two open places to attend the STNAs down in London! A day trip …
Applying for the Internship
May 11, 2022
Here we are, onto blog number 4 and over halfway through the internship. This time last year we were both continuing our nursing studies, working on assignments, attending seminars and lectures. All of this before going out on our fourth placement of the year. When we look back, it’s strange to think of how we …
30 at 30: Reflecting on the 30 Years of Nursing Nottingham blog series
April 21, 2022
When we started on this journey of 30 blogs to celebrate 30 years of Nursing at Nottingham it was a bit of a leap of faith in terms of the interest we would get. I had my fingers crossed for a range of reflections from a variety of contributors but was in no way able …

30 at 30: From student nurse to Teaching Associate
November 30, 2021
Nursing, for me had been what seemed, at the time, an unattainable goal. Surely only clever people could hold such a title (major imposter syndrome!). I had always been the child that struggled at school and my parents’ evenings would always entail of the same old saying of “bright and lovely girl but talks too much”. This surely reflected in my grades and, in my late teens, I figured that all things academic did not come naturally to …
30 at 30: Supporting each other
November 9, 2021
Writing this blog is perfect timing as I started my nurse training at Mid Trent School and Nursing and Midwifery 30 years ago in September 1991. I lived at the City Hospital in Nurses Home one, which is now the Clinical Sciences building! The last 30 years have flown by and I have been privileged to have had a …
