I was based in the community working with a home treatment team. As I an a first-year student and this was my first placement I was initially very nervous. However, the team I was working with immediately put me at my ease and were brilliant, answering any questions I had.
I shadowed nurses visiting clients in their homes. I got the opportunity to accompany different nurses and see the different ways in which they talk to and approach clients.
The team I worked with not only provided practical care advice to me, but they also recommended books to assist me in my studies and in my career as a nurse. The staff demonstrated care and compassion and empathy to all service users.
