Kaitlyn is mentored by the team of nurses, especially lead nurse Claire Rainger, and says that everyone is happy to offer professional advice and support: 'I really like the practical aspect of this work and wanted something where I was kept busy and active, rather than going on to study at university. I have really felt supported and have already completed courses and training, so I can take bloods, do blood pressure checks, ECGs and perform health checks. We are all one big team. I am happy to learn more and progress. I work full time and sometimes patients are surprised because I am so young but taking this route has definitely been the right move for me.'
