This video gives me hope - currently a second year adult nursing student and feeling very deflated! Morale is so low within the NHS but it’s nice to be reminded of the vast roles we can do as nurses and still make a difference to people. Thank you.
Aw sorry you’re feeling that way! It’s so tough right now. But there are so many options! Never give up :) xx
That's amazing Claire xx I'm proud of you ❣️ thank you for everything you're doing 💝
Thank you 💜 hope you are doing good too xx
Happy Christmas and New Year! It's great seeing you still moving on and doing new things, I'll be qualified myself in autumn and can still remember how much I got out of your videos before I started in the summer of 2020!
Thank you so much! I hope youre getting on ok too :) xx
Here I am trying to squint and read some lines from the book... super excited 💃🥳🥳
Huge congratulations on your book and your new role! Your book sounds incredible and I definitely could have benefited from this when I was a student nurse. I wish there was a book like this for Midwifery.
Thank you! I hope you had a lovely Xmas and new year 🥰 x
Congratulations on all you have achieved Claire ❤ sending love to you and your dad also xxx
Thank you! Hope you had a lovely Xmas and new year 🥰 xx
Happy new year Claire, thanks for coming back here this year.
Hopefully I can do more 🥰🥳
Congratulations on many achievements. Well done!
Thank you! Hope you have a great day 🥰
Happy new year Claire you have achieved so much during congratulations on book. Loved seeing the pictures and videos of you and George on your holiday, wishing you both a wonderful future together xx
Happy new year to you and the family too! Hope you’re getting on ok :) xx
@@ClaireCarmichael thank you yeah im good, applying for band 6 jobs have interviews lined up over next couple of months
@@khadijahabdel-illah7753 whoop! That’s amazing news!!! Well done and good luck! Xx
Claire congratulations on ALL off that. WOW! What an update, highs and lows, but so many highs. Super pleased for you (and George). I'm so looking forward to buying, reading and promoting your new book (which I'm sure will be fabulous!) to those on my course. Thank you for all you do for the nursing community, you'll be a great lecturer for sure. You should be super proud of all you've achieved, all those you've inspired and helped, and all those you'll go on to help get into nursing and make a real difference! Have an amazing New Year and thank you.....x
Morning! Thank you so much 🥺💜
Happy new year to you too! 🥂🥳 x
Congratulations 🎉
Happy new year Claire!🎉 I qualify next month (so excited)! Thank you for all the help & advice you’ve given me during my 3 years! ❤️
I can't believe how fast that has gone!!! crazy!!! Good luck for qualifying! Happy new year to you and the family too x
Hey lovely, please never feel guilty for enjoying what you are doing and having a good year. You've worked so hard (I'm a fellow nurse except would love some advice if possible). 2023 is going to be an even better year for you and your partner 🥰. Xx
Aw thank yoooouu :) Happy to try and give any advice if I can :) no problem at all! Happy new year to you and your family also 💜 xx
@ClaireCarmichael hi Claire, thankyou for replying. I have had time off from nursing due to mental health and then having foot surgery in Sept, which is taking a while to heal. I have 420hrs to do before revalidation in Dec and freaking out as don't think I can make all those hours because I'm a single mum and can't do fulltime. Plus I'm massively lacking in confidence. Any tips on confidence? Xxx
@@kaylesandbean oh no! Bless you! Sorry to hear this. Have you spoke to the NMC about it all? They may give you some extra time. I’m sure I’ve read something somewhere about this 🙈 can’t for the life of me remember where.
You can only do your best though! You have to look after yourself before anything else. Nursing will always be here for you 💜
What about doing GP nursing? If you find a good practice, they will pay well and you can live on part time 😍 good for work / life balance.
Also, Disability assessor role - working from home but you are still classed as nursing because you’re assessing patients still. Inbox me somewhere about this! I’ll give you some details :) this might help you actually! I have a plan! Haha
I can try and do a vlog on confidence actually! That’s a good one to do. Because we all lack it sometimes. I’ll do it this week for you :)
I hope everything gets better for you soon 🥺 xx
Claire, I love your videos! I'm a NQN Nurse, I have a Practice Nurse job interview next week. Im wondering if you have any tips? I did have an interview a couple of weeks ago for a PN post but was unsuccessful! I've spent 6 months in GP as a third year SN. What I feel like I am struggling with is, each practice is completely different in terms of policy and procedure so I think this is where I am getting stuck in interview when asked about this stuff. Theres no standardisation in GP, which is a nightmare for me at the minute! 😂
So sorry, I have only just seen this comment! How did you get on?! x
Hi Claire. Happy New Year to you and George 🎉 I’m so happy to see your update - I have never commented on your videos (public speaking 😅) but just wanted to let you know that I had been following your channel since I had an idea of career change in 2021 and now 18 months later I’m a student nurse at the age of 40! You are really inspiring and a natural born educator 😊 I can’t wait for the book 😊 All the best in 2023 ❤️
Happy new year! Thank you so much for your comment. That’s amazing to hear 👏🏻 well done!! I hope you’re doing ok so far! 🥰 xx
Hi, how did you find working as a disability assessor? Thanks
@@laurenkewin2656 I loved the role itself and talking to patients etc. but I didn’t agree or like the way they worked behind the scenes! I can’t name the company, but they would make you change your assessment to fail patients! 😭 which wasn’t on! I raised it so many times and nothing got done about it. I couldn’t cope with that :( x
Well done Claire look forward to reading the book 📚 😍
Thank yoooou :D hope you're doing ok too! Happy new year xx
@@ClaireCarmichael Happy New Year xxxx
You’re amazing I have been following you on and off how do you find the time to inspire and share knowledge with so many whilst embarking on so many new challenges! Would you say this book would be useful for newly qualified nurses? I finished my Adult nursing course over a year later than expected due to health issues and personal reasons, I feel there are learning gaps that I need to revisit,
I will start a preceptorship course in theatre nursing once I receive pin, do you have any tips for enhancing my practice,especially as I’d want to put my best foot forward and be the best supervisor for any possible students I get, thank you Claire congratulations on engagement and new role🎉
Morning! Aw thank you 🥰 congratulations for qualifying! Amazing 👏🏻🥳
I’m sure you’ll be great honestly! The fact you are even asking about it shows you’re going to be amazing :)
To be honest, the book would be more beneficial to students rather than NQN because most of it talks around student nurses from start to finish. There’s a NQN chapter and some extra chapters around learning disabilities, LGBTQ+, BAME, mental health and staying motivated though :) x
How is the disability assessing going?
my son is a transgender patient i am starting as a nurse shorlty
I hope your son is doing ok. Hope nursing has started well :)
Any advice for preceptorship nurses would you recommend...
Make sure you have a good supportive team! Number one top tip! If you have a good team, who are supportive the rest will fall into place :)
Take your time, if you are stuck - ask for help. Remember you won't know it all, and you will still be learning x
@@ClaireCarmichael I didn't accept very fast reply, by the way congratulations for your GPN and engagement love watching your videos ❤ thanks xx
Congratulations 🎉
