I wanted to introduce myself. I'm Carlie and I am student adult nurse.
I was recently diagnosed with ASC last month and I am awaiting ADHD assessment.
I love being a student nurse and I can't think of doing anything else now, but I do facer adversity and I do feel alone with my diagnosis in the work/ placement environment.
I was wondering if there were any nurses or student nurses here that might want to share their
experiences or difficulties going into social, highly-pressured working environment and any coping strategies?
Thank you!
I'm not a nurse but I was a social worker for adult social care until recently, and now I work for the NHS in a social work related but different role.
I'm actually talking to someone in the trust I've joined about us establishing a neurodivergent staff group. She suggested it when I told her I'm autistic and she happened to be autistic too!
