Nursing and Autism

NAS73516
over 3 years ago

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 am a second year learning disability nurse. I absolutely love it . I however I find I am more suited to community placements , where I manage my own case loads and diary . I did not like working on a ward . I  currently on placement working for a company who specialise in ASD and ADHD assessment’s it’s my favourite so far .
