I found the nursing work experience really helpful. I learnt a lot from the general practice nurses and they were really friendly and talked me through each procedure I watched. I really enjoyed learning how blood was taken and how it needs to be labelled to be sent off to the lab.

I really enjoyed the nursing work experience. I was able to sit in consultations and learnt what a nurse does in a medical clinic. I observed the nurse doing vaccinations, changing bandages and checking wounds and taking blood samples. It was really helpful and I learnt a lot.
