Thank you to Georgina, the student nurse

Georgina is a student nurse from Northumbria University, who is coming to the end of her placement at Charlotte Straker House. She is currently in her second year of her nursing degree and has been mentored by our Home Manager and RGN Cheryl Kennedy. Cheryl commented, “Georgina has been a great student: quick to learn; and cheerful and proactive. She’s wonderful with the residents and I’m sure has a great career ahead of her. We’re glad that she chose us for her placement, and I’m delighted as she has applied to become a bank care assistant at Charlotte Straker House.” For her last day Georgina brought in a wonderful cake (see photo!) to thank the staff for their support. Charlotte Straker has become a regular placement for Northumbria nursing students as we’re able to help teach new students’ best practice in elderly nursing care.
