I've bought the student nurse planner and reflective journal from Happy Planner Company. The planner looks like an organisational dream, so excited for it to arrive! And the blogs you linked to are really interesting.
You are such a wonderful human being. You are going to make an amazing nurse❤️ Super helpful! I find your voice so calming and relaxing. Starting my first year of child nursing tomorrow🙏🏼
Claire Carmichael no, thank you! Slowly, I'm gonna watch all your videos😊 They are by far the most helpful videos on here. May god bless you and all you hold dear to you🙏🏼
First year student nurse here from Manchester and I love your vids. You will make a fantastic with that cute face and smile 😊 Very useful content. Tks for sharing your journey with us xx
Yes!!! I loved this video🤷♀️ nurses and paramedics stick together #TeamNHS. Great tips lovely and your eyeliner is looking amazing.... keep being you, you’ll go far x *Kyle*
Wow Claire I am very grateful I clicked on your video as there's just so much handy tips I never imagine I have just placed an order for the planner for I bought a diary thinking it was fabulous until now. Thank you so dearly and I believe you are very proud on completion of your studies. xxx
Hi this was a great video, i begin adult nursing on 16th April, and as a mature student and being able to get some help on what we will need is perfect. thank you
khadijah abdelillah Thank you! That’s great to hear. If there’s anything else you would like to know just ask away ☺️ How exciting for you starting!! Good luck with it all :-) make the most of every opportunity
This was super helpful I’m starting my degree this year at either university of Birmingham or BCU and its useful to know what to save up for before i start. The khan academy stuff is amazing I’ve used that site loads for revision and assignments in my access course.
Pippa Cocks That’s great Pippa. You’ll be onto a head start with the Khan Academy :D it’s so good. It’s really saved me so many times haha. I just find it so easy to understand but I know some students don’t like it. Good luck for starting! 🌟 I’m very biased but pick BCU! 🤣🎉 xx
Love this video! so many handy tips. Its made me even more excited!! Hoping to start adult nursing next year, im a mature student and need to do an access course first so start that this Sept :) Cant wait x
So lovely of you to make this video!!😍😇 you have mentioned you prefer to use websites and videos for your studying , but can you reference them at the university in any assignment? I have got a huge struggle to reference level 3 stuff in my access course and the tutor says every time that we can’t really use websites and videos in assignments and essays referencing …😟😞 I would be really pleased if you would reply to me !! By the way, you really seem a wonderful person and I am sending you all of my good thoughts and wishes, and I wish you the best of success in your nursing journey ! Hopefully I will be accepted and starting my nursing journey next year !! 🥰😇
Morning :) if your university say you can’t use them, then you shouldn’t use them sadly. You’re allowed to use government websites for assignment though, and journal articles, research papers online, books etc. I hope that helps? :) x
I want to order a planner from the happy planner company but I don’t know whether to order the week to view format or the extended version, I’m starting first year nursing degree in September and I’m not sure what’s best to use for the quantity of uni work, any help would be appreciated😩
Hi Claire, I love your videos😊! I just wanted to ask if would you recommend buying a stethoscope? I'm starting children's nursing at uni in September and I know nurses in the UK don't use stethoscopes as much as American nurses or other countries. So I was just wondering if it is worth buying a stethoscope for myself and since I am doing children's nursing, if I do get a stethoscope, do you know if I should buy a paediatric one or can a normal Litman Classic III be used as well?
Hey! I have a stethoscope which I use now in GP :) Everywhere should have their own one that you can use so it’s not 100% necessary BUT it’s nice to have your own haha. There’s a double one you can get which does adults and paediatric apparently! I’m not sure where they are. Have a look at littmann because they are amazing 😍
Sana Ahmed that’s a very good question and I have no idea 😂🙈 sorry! Every uni is different as well, they all have their own standard uniforms. But our ones measure the same as tunics do if you’re a HCA already :) I have a size 10 for mine. But they have smaller sizes and go up to bigger sizes if needed x
Monty Monty Hey, I’m so sorry but I didn’t read any books for the levels of writing. I just went to our personal development department at uni with help for it all. But it’s more about critically analysing and using evidence based practiced to get those marks.
What Zee Loves I like the books but I personally prefer to watch RU-vid videos to help me remember it all. Most students I have spoke to have the Ross and Wilson books and love them :-) they are easy to understand too
Hannah Smith Thank you! ☺️ To be honest, I use my iPhone 7!! I do have a Nikon camera but recently I’ve struggled to get it to focus on video mode. I have good lights too! I bought some studio lights from eBay for £30 for the pair. Best purchase ever! Makes your video so much clearer
Claire Carmichael thanks! Considering filming, even if just 1 min vids for Twitter, and good to know I could use my iPhone 7 and it still be good quality :) May invest in some lights.
Hannah Smith 100% just use your phone. It’s the lightening that makes all the difference ☺️ I’ll show you the ones I got. Hang on... just warning you tho, they are huge! Haha. You can always sit by the window for natural light. That’s what I did before I got the lights ☺️ that works.
Hannah Smith rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F122781249713 they are the ones I got but I think they are out of stock now? Have a look. But just natural lighting is fine.
Hi Claire hope u fine pls can u send me the link where you said u can learn from pls.. and also have check few of the items you mentioned the blood pressure set but the price for delivery is equivalent as the price of buying.. do u advice on others? 😊
Tonia Brian Tonia Brian Hi, oooh sorry about that! I hadn’t noticed the delivery charge (I think because I’m on student prime so I get it free! If you sign up for student prime you get the first 6months free!) then you can cancel it if you don’t want to keep the prime after. But that might be a good option if you’re buying lots at the minute 😊 So sorry I thought I had put the learning links in there. But here’s what I use, it’s great! www.khanacademy.org (there’s an free app for Khan Academy too) RU-vid videos on Khan Academy; m.ru-vid.comvideos (they’ve saved my life! When revising hah) X
Tonia Brian Are you on Facebook, IG, Twitter? You could add me there if you want and just message :-) Twitter and IG @c_carmichael83 Facebook: Claire Carmichael
Kristyna Gabrielova it depends. Mine was 3 year degree. But some are 4 years! 😁 Best to look at the uni you want to go to and see what they do as they all are different x
It depends on you. If you learn from a book then they are worth getting 💙 But I didn’t learn from books 😂 I did a lot of online learning, hands on stuff more than opening a book. X
@@ClaireCarmichael with me being dyslexic I like learning hands on not by books , am just worried I won’t be able to find answers to questions that they have in books they tell you to buy if that makes sense x
@@ClaireCarmichael I have just added them on here after watching your videos lol , not sure what it’s going to be like as my course is only two years as it’s a masters 😬 lol x
Claire Carmichael I'm sorry we corrupted you with our strange accent 😅 I live in Hampshire now so I'm slooooowly losing it haha it's just certain words I can't shake it out of! Not doing a nursing course yet but doing tonns of research to prepare myself and make sure I'm as ready as I can be come the time to enroll for my access course next year 😁
Rebekah Bate hahaha it’s ok. I won’t blame you all 🤣 Hampshire! How lovely :-) When will you start your access course?? Next sept? Or this one? How exciting for you!! The access isn’t too bad and it prepares you for the academic work set out in the degree 😁 well worth it! If you can do the access you can do nursing! Do you work in healthcare already? :-) x
