Carrie Calvin Hello everyone!
I hope that you're all doing well and staying safe.
I'm writing this update to you from self-isolation following contact with someone who was later confirmed as testing positive for covid. Luckily, I'm not symptomatic so I'm trying to keep myself busy (which isn't difficult as a nursing student and school rep!). So while it is frustrating to be missing placement, it is for others' and my own safety. Instead, I'm keeping myself busy with university work, revision, school rep work, and housework (and some down time too).
I am continuing to work on the plans and initiatives that we began in semester 1, and hope to have further updates for you soon. Most of the logs from the council meeting in November have been completed, and I will be following up next week on any that haven't. We also now have the date for our semester 2 council meeting.
I have my regular meeting with the course leads next week, which is always a wonderful opportunity for us to check in, catch up, and make some exciting plans for our continued working relationships!
The NMC have also released some additional recovery standards guidance this week, which may mean some positive changes in the near future as the implementation becomes clearer.
Thank you to all of my reps that have been in touch, and continue to support me in my role. As always, if any of you need support, guidance, advice, or just someone to talk to, I'm only ever an email away.
Stay safe!
Carrie :)
