Comment on: Our students’ dedication is a credit to the profession
Thanks Mark. In your usual style you have managed to capture how it feels to be a student nurse. I'm half way through my final year and I am constantly thinking about how it will feel not to have L plates anymore. I have been prepared for registration by mentors both good and bad; from the good I have learned how to be the kind of mental health nurse that I have become. Bad mentors have taught me how not to nurse and how not to treat others for whom I will be responsible as mentor in my own right. This is the best job in the world and part of it involves the teaching of others; bad mentors should remember that.

Comment on: RCN seeks nurse views on alcohol sales code
If alcohol was brought to market as a new product today then surely it would find itself on the list of Class A drugs. Just because something is legal and socially acceptable does not mean that it does not cause a problem. As a nurse I am fed up of the emotional and physical damage that people do to one another whilst under the influence of alcohol.
