'Bye for now and thanks Student Nursing Times!'
When I first asked Nursing Times about writing a few articles I had no idea that I was lucky enough to approach them just as they were creating Student Nursing Times.

'Student nurses are a lot more open to debate than I'd thought'
When I was asked to write a weekly article this time last year I had some preconceptions about the audience I was talking to.

'We all need support, who are you thankful for?'
I want to talk about the often unseen support that helps students get through their three years of training. Support that is beyond colleagues and services at your university.

'I've met some real characters in the NHS'
In my experience, the most flamboyant and interesting have been the consultants.

'How resilient are student nurses?'
I used to think that student nurses were fragile and needed to be nurtured to develop into confident and competent nurses of the future.

Comment on: 'Learning to treat patients with dignity is so important'
Hi Mikey. such a powerful article and your anecdote at the end is so depressing. We often reminded that we should not conduct personal conversations around patients regardless of what state they appear to be in. We're also told that you're hearing is often one last senses to go so, as you said, one patient may appear unable to comprehend what's going on the very opposite may be true. I hope this article helps other students improve their practice.

Comment on: 'I don't like how formalised reflection has become'
Hello Sarah. Really good article. I tried to keep a reflective diary form my time in practice but it's really hard to get out of the habit of just being descriptive. Hopefully I am getting there. Looking forward to your next one.

Comment on: 'Bye for now and thanks Student Nursing Times!'
So time has come when I get to respond to the comments for the last time as student nurse editor. As I have said, this has been one of the highlights for me over the last year. Kate - congratulations on becoming a blogger. It is a great experience and I'm looking forward to reading your articles. Just how close are you? You know that makes your perfect candidate to get involved on the pod cast! Anonymous – thank you for your kind words. the greatest compliment is to hear that you learnt something from my articles. while I may not have a weekly article here any more I will still be around so be sure to follow me on twitter to find out what I'm doing. Rachel – I never get used to the fact that so many people read what I write. When you do get in touch with me on twitter let me know how you're getting on with your training. Thank you for your comments. As I said in the article, I will still be involved with the student nursing times because I will still be making the pod cast. Coincidentally, if you're interested in finding out more about the show then I would encourage you all to visit my personal site over at www.optical-minefield.co.uk or tweet me for more information.
