RGN TO BE UPDATE : 11 weeks till I qualify

RGN to be update 

‍

Hey guys, first of all I’d like to apologise for the inconsistency here at Her Nature is Nurture. At the beginning of the year I said I’d commit to uploading a new blog post every Monday and I have not 100% percent been a woman of my word. I hereby announce that TODAY on the 30th of June 2025 I am recommitting to uploading a blog post every single Monday . Diligence and task prioritisation must enter the chat by FORCE, so that being said you can look forward to a new upload weekly ! Thank you all for your love and support so far , I am still just getting started and if you are reading this I am so glad you get to witness my humble beginnings. With that being said ? Let’s get into some RGN to be updates ❤︎

Final year assignment

I took an intentional break from posting here back in March of this year so I could focus on my final year literature review (my thesis). I am so happy to share that  I have since gotten my results back and I got a 1:1 (first class)  on my thesis !. I will be graduating with a 2:1 (upper second class) overall , this grade is a compilation of my third year grade and my final year grade. I was really hoping and aiming for a first class overall but I ended up being just 2% shy of my goal. I’ll get 'em next time (whenever I do a Masters by God's grace). Nevertheless I am still happy with my grade and I give all the glory to God for being my ever present helper. (Psalm 46:1)

New Grad Job 

Guys can you believe that there are ONLY 11 weeks left of my internship before I am a qualified nurse? This blows my mind every single time I think about it because I’m like “Really”? “Me”? I also can’t fathom how fast I have grown up , secondary school still feels like yesterday ;  yet years of training , studying and placement etc have been lived in between. I am actually writing this blog post during a night shift on the computer of the ward I would LOVE to start my new grad job on. It’s a medical ward (you’s know I am a medical girly and this ward has definitely confirmed that). I actually plan on working in my training hospital for at least the first two years of my career just to continue to grow in clinical competence and confidence in an environment I am familiar with before even thinking about branching out elsewhere. In my case , because I applied in my training hospital I am guaranteed a new grad job and GET THIS? I didn’t even need to go through an interview process ! I just made my ward preference known to my hospital and now? I wait :)

“What do you want to specialize in” ? 

Oftentimes when I tell people I am almost a qualified nurse I get the default question “So what area do you want to specialize in” ? And my answer is always “I actually don’t know yet , I think I like the sound of being an Advanced Nurse Practitioner”. And even at that I need to know what kind of  Advanced Nurse Practitioner (ANP) I’d like to be e.g a Stroke ANP ? Gerontological  ANP ? etc. Alas ! What I do know ? Is that I want to eventually work my way up the ranks, I want to work in a place of authority because I want to be someone who can create change and implement it, not just for the benefit of nurses but for the entire Irish Healthcare System. I don’t know what it takes to get there but I am trusting in Jesus , the one who orders my steps. (Psalm 37:23)
