ISBU Student feedback

I have observed Mary-Charity’s interaction with patients and staff, and she has always been professional in her communication skills. Even though she is a first-year student she is very knowledgeable and applies what she has learnt in university to practice. She always follows the correct infection control and manual handling procedures and even explains the process to more experienced staff. She contributes to staff handovers and has a very caring attitude to patients and healthcare staff.

Kingston University student,

Mary-Charity was a pleasure to work with on shift, she is hardworking and open to learn. She is not afraid to ask questions when she is not sure of something and is happy to share her knowledge with me when I am unsure about something

Community Healthcare Assistant,

Mary is a very organised student. She listened to constructive feedback well and improved upon this at later visits.

she dressed several wounds of varying difficulty, she worked efficiently and cleanly.

Mary also took 3 patients’ blood glucose levels, she is proficient in this and I was very pleased with her technique.

it was a delight working with Mary today and I believe she will be a great nurse in the future.

DN,

Mary has been working with our team for 6 weeks, I feel she is a very good nurse, she is calm, patient, caring and friendly. She is always eager to learn and reflect on her nursing pre and post-procedure.

Mary has a very positive attitude about nursing and is always willing to help. She has quite a good foundation of nursing knowledge. She has very good communication skills with our patients and their families.

I am very happy with her performance and hope she will make big progress in her future learning.

Practice Assessor (DN),

Mary has been eager to learn during her placement. She has been engaging in mostly clinical skills under supervision.

She is showing interest by asking questions if she is unfamiliar with something and has been grateful to the team that she is learning a lot during her time with the District nursing team.

It’s been a great pleasure working with her.
