just wanted to share
 

Hi everyone.. just wanted to share something I am really proud of itmay not seem much but it was really hard for me to do and it made me so happy that i wanted to share it with you guys.

For those of you who dont know i have just started my training as a mental health nurse, and am loving it.. I know that it is what i want to do for the rest of my life! well i have spent the last few weeks trying to decide if it was worth talking to my tutor about my history of SI. Well today i took the plunge and did.. i decided that my support network is 80 miles from me and while i am on placement i may find it hard to cope, and wanted someone i could trust enough to talk to if i start to struggle. and i must say he was fantastic!! I have never spoken to anyone who has been so ok about it... so if nothing else he is proof that good mental health nurses exist!... he is going to put things into place so that if i struggle i can come out of placement for an hour and go somewhere safe, as well as giving me extra help with assignments that may stress me out to much.. I cant believe how good he has been... plus i am so proud of myself for actually being honest!

sorry this is so long! love you guys,

wow Charlotte, that's brilliant news! You should be proud of yourself for telling him and I'm so glad it went well. At least now you won't have to worry about that while you're on placement. well done and good with your career, you'll be great and it's great that you want to do this.

Well done Char!

that's one of the strongest things I've heard about when it comes to SI. So, while I don't know you, I still want to congratulate you! Well done =)
