Trainee Nursing Associate Review

To provide a higher level of health care to patients. This will involve simple and complex wound care, basic medication administration and management, compleating patients records with accurate and updated information, work within a team and a multi disciplinary team. This will also involve going on to alternative practices to see other areas of working within the health care setting.

Yes - I am developing my skills and knowledge regarding all forms of wound care and becoming much more confident in my abilities. - Learning about medications and administration of these and how to safety deliver them to patients - How to be more advanced within my role and to take responsibility while care for all individuals.

I am still at the start of my apprenticeship journey. So far i am finding it very good overall but there are parts which still confuse me. I think this is also to do with the role i am training for, which is also new for everyone not just myself.

Very well organised and structured. The university and my work place (Rotherham Hospital) have made a very well structured time table and stuck to it. This has helped greatly in managing my own time and those who i work with. Due to the covid circumstances many face to face and direct contact with mentors and the apprenticeship team hasn't been available but hopefully that will change

From my immediate team i work with and my line manager my support has been fantastic. My academic assessor has been second to none and given me so much help and advice well above and beyond. Again due to covid, any other support has been tough to gain as i am unsure of who people really are and most contact is via email only which lacks personality.

University of Sheffield has been brilliant. See and speak to tutors every Wednesday and they are always available via email and also very great at understanding our shift patterns and make themselves present at all times regardless. Clinical educator has been amazing too with any issues ive had regarding my alternative placements.

Much better and more confident!

Unsure, but team building within my team is very important and stressed upon within my own team.

Yes

It has been a nice place for me to begin my NHS career, there are some brilliant staff members around and that want you to be pushed forward to better myself.

To try your best, be open and honest and ask lots of questions.
