'To call 2020 the year of the unexpected, I believe, would be an understatement and an injustice.' I've written this piece for @bowelcanceruk to share the journey my fiancé Robert & I have been on with #bowelcancer since September. (1/4)

Alice Lightowlers, Brixham

Alice shares the story of her fiancé's diagnosis with stage 3 bowel cancer in Autumn 2020.

It is so disappointing to receive negative comments when telling people I'm studying Nursing 😞 You may not be brave enough to do a demanding job that requires academic knowledge & skill plus a whole range of emotions but I am. Positivity & encouragement is key for students 👌🏻

Today a colleague said to me 'at least when you're a nurse I know you'll speak to B2 staff nicely & with respect'. 💔😔 Why does it matter what band you are? Surely everyone deserves to be respected regardless of job title/Band? We are ALL the NHS. Please be kind to all.

A few times on placement I've seen discourtesy towards RNs & HCAs, I've been referred to as 'the student' & overheard 'she's just here to help with obs' (I corrected this). Forget what colour you're wearing & your pay band. We should ALL have the same goal - caring for patients.

Students shouldn't need to speak up to protect their supernumerary status - it should be respected consistently & without question. We understand staffing issues but we should still be supported in practice to learn from registered staff & not be solely seen as an extra number.

Alice

@AliceCathLabRN

@RNsteffers @Punc21Jade I worry for students who aren't confident enough to speak up - they shouldn't be put in that position in the first place. Supernumerary status is there for our protection & for us to learn, sadly this seems to be dwindling & is becoming accepted because of the current climate.

@alisonleary1 Nursing at its most short-sighted 🙄 It starts with students. If you can’t learn how to value students, forget filling those vacancies. Undervalued staff don’t stay. If you want to retain staff, look after them - and upper management MUST lead the way on that as well as wards.

Something very important happened today... I managed to find 4 folders that match the colour coding used for each of the 4 modules I will start this term 🙈🙊 (I have a stationery problem 😅). #studentlife #studentnurse

One of those days where I randomly get overcome with emotion! I couldn't be more excited to start my #studentnurse journey - feel so incredibly lucky to have this opportunity & the most amazing, supportive fiancé by my side. I couldn't do it without him 💕👫🏥💉💊 #WeStNs

Great day at the cricket. Smashing 6 in the final over by Morgan. Could not have handled 1 run per ball in the final over! Amazing game!! #ENGvPAK 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏏🏏🏏

Great first day in the Fracture Clinic! I had a cast put on & then taken off with the cast saw. Really valuable to experience this so I have a better idea of the patient's perspective! (definitely understand the fear of the saw 😅) #PUNCplacement #PUNC19

2 years since the first #lockdown was announced 😱 All I'm wondering is if all those people who panic bought toilet rolls have actually used them all yet? 🤔🤷🏻‍♀️

Wrote 20 words. Treated myself to some toast and a 2hr break. ☕🍞 #NRS505 summed up. 😭

One of the hardest shifts I've worked as a Student Nurse. A hugely reflective evening for me, a little cry in the car on the way home & a much needed cuddle from my Husband. Days like today remind me how lucky I am, and how lucky we are to have each other & our baby.
