Marie

I’m a senior Emergency Department nurse with over 10 years of acute nursing experience, including 6 years in practice development supporting student nurses, newly qualified nurses and junior staff within a busy Emergency Department.

My teaching style is supportive, realistic and confidence building. I understand how overwhelming nursing interviews, placements and the transition into practice can feel, so my sessions focus on practical advice, structured preparation and creating a safe space to ask questions without judgement. My colleagues describe me as kind, approachable and honest. I have supported many of them with the next steps in their careers and development.

I can support with:

Student nurse guidance and placement support
Transition from student nurse to Band 5
Emergency Department interview preparation
Clinical scenario practice
STAR technique and interview answers
Applying for promotions to Band 6 level
Time management and prioritisation in acute settings
Confidence building for newly qualified nurses
Reflective practice and professional development
Coaching on a subject of your choosing
Guidance on courses and learning to advance yourself

Lessons can be tailored to individual needs and may include:

1:1 coaching sessions via video call or telephone (your preferred method)
Mock interview practice with verbal feedback
Discussion of clinical scenarios and escalation
CV and application support
Review of job descriptions and suitability
Q&A style mentoring sessions
Writing of action plans to support your development and optional reviews if required

My approach is friendly, encouraging and honest. I focus on helping nurses feel more prepared, capable and confident in their next step.
