I have learned huge amounts

I wanted to say thank you and reflect on my time at BIRU.  I have learned huge amounts.  I have been able to spend time with a variety of nurses and the MDT and their professionalism, care and support has been second to none. I would especially like to thank Natasha, my mentor, and Simon, my adopted mentor.  Natasha has been a fantastic mentor, her knowledge, skills and passion for patients is clear. She has set learning opportunities for me and has always made sure there is someone to shadow.  She has also been very generous with her time, once staying two hours after a night shift to complete my review. She has given me lots of resources that are relevant to my work.  I am really very grateful to her for all the support.  Simon is clearly a natural leader, someone who instills confidence in patients and the MDT with his very effective communication skills. He has taken me under his wing and taught me a great deal.  His confidence in me has allowed me to grow and develop as a student nurse.  Thank you!
