Supporting New Students.....

So we have some 1st year student nurses on placement with us at the moment. I've really enjoyed having a student working alongside me and having the opportunity to teach them all I can. I'm keen to give them a good experience as obviously I remember the difficult shifts I had as a student if the nurse you were working with was un-interested! However, there has been one particular student who doesn't seem happy to carry out any tasks which she deem's to be 'auxillary tasks'. I find this really frustrating because all the jobs are the 'teams' jobs.....caring for people should be our main priority....and this includes personal care and help with meals. My opinion is, I'm happy to take the time to teach, so please be happy to muck in! Thankfully, the other students I've worked with have been fab! Keen and eager....just like I was not so long ago! Haha! It makes me smile to myself when I have to sign a timesheet at the end of a shift!
