CW: Medical treatment

I’m up at Kenepuru Medical day ward getting a blood top up. I’ve a student nurse helping today. A young Pasifika woman doing the Whitireia course.

I’m always happy to let them help — that’s how they will learn and become a genuine benefit to all of us patients and our families.

And it’s interesting to talk to the students, too. What do they enjoy about their studies? What interests them the most? Where would they like to work when they graduate? These are always good questions to open up a conversation.
