My first post as a Registered nurse
I have been (sort of) given a nursing post. As Divisional Nursing officer with my St John Ambulance division. This basically means that in the eyes of SJA, as well as my training received with them, I am also registered as a health care professional (HCP) and then have assumed responsibility for the treatment of patients by the SJA volunteers. So, if there was a spinal case with a femoral bleed, I may see to that and direct the ambulance aid crew and be asked to review patients from First Aid members. This will be very unusual, though anything that can get me 6 months post registration experience is more then welcome. Also means I get to wear some grey epaulettes.
