Welcome to episode 109 [originally broadcast on Wednesday 14 December 2022] of #mhTV. This week Nicky Lambert and David Munday spoke with guests, student nurses, Bryony Prentice & Tanisha Ruby Wynter.
BP - My name is Bryony and I am currently studying Mental Health Nursing through the degree apprenticeship with Canterbury Christ Church University. I started working in Forensic Mental Health in 2016. I have experience in an inpatient setting where I worked as a Lead Healthcare Worker, and I currently work for Forensic Community Services as a Senior Support Time and Recovery Worker; this is my base job role whilst I am on the nursing apprenticeship.
TRW - I am a third-year mental health nursing student. I came into my course straight from completing my A-levels. I am the youngest student on my course.
I wanted to work in mental health from a young age, but I never knew it would be nursing. It wasn’t until my grandad was ill and I saw how nurses treated him that I decided to investigate nursing and saw mental health nursing, it was the perfect combination really.
My future ambitions are to firstly finish up my mental health nursing course, and then I’d love to work as a forensic mental health nurse or in children’s mental health service (CAHMS). I would also love to do a masters, but I will see where life takes me!
