Three years ago today, I walked into my uni induction 🎓 After long days, sleepless nights & lessons that shaped me ✨, today I start my first shift as a newly qualified nurse 🩺. Proud, humble & ready 💙 (Shift starts 7:30… yes, I’m early 🤣) #NewlyQualifiedNurse #DayOne

Only three long days into my management placement… and it already feels like I have lived a whole month ⏳
In between 12-hour shifts ⏰endless thinking about results 🧠 and trying to finish my final assignment 📚 - I paused. Nature reminds me it is okay to slow down 🌿 Just for a moment ☁️

Lately, I’ve learned that not everything deserves a reaction.
Sometimes the best thing you can do is step back, stay grounded and let distance do the talking 🧘‍♀️✨

It’s not about proving anything.
It’s about protecting what you’ve built — your peace, your focus, your growth 🛡️🧠🌱

After 10 weeks of placement, I felt like it was time for a fresh start before heading back to uni! 💇‍♀️ It’s been a whirlwind, but I’m ready to dive back in with a new look and even more energy! ⚡️

Let’s do this, final year! 😤😤😤

Last day of placement and I genuinely feel like I have grown more here than in all my previous placements combined. I have learned so much from an amazing team and their support has made such a difference. Feeling grateful, excited and one step closer to qualifying! 💙

Absolutely drained after today’s shift. One of those days that took everything-physically, mentally, emotionally. Some moments were heavy, some frustrating, and some reminded me exactly why I do this ❤️ Holding onto the small wins and the fact that I did my best. One more shift to go! 😴✨

Here’s to the women who lift others as they rise, who stand strong in the face of challenges, and who keep pushing forward even when the world tells them otherwise. Your strength, your voice and your presence matter - today and every day.

Happy International Women’s Day! ✨

Writing helps me make sense of my doubts and reflect on my journey as a nursing student. I love how putting my thoughts into words brings clarity and connection 💭✨

Three more shifts and this placement will be done. It hit me tonight just how close I am to actually graduating. One more term, one final management placement and then that is it - I will no longer be a student nurse🩺🎓

Finished two night shifts, got two more coming up… and somehow, I am still studying in between.

Maybe I really am obsessed with nursing! 😅 🤭

Feeling accomplished! 😅 🫢
