My name is Cassie and I am a student mental health nurse at the University of Leeds (hence the title future MHN)! I was born in Scarborough, moved to & lived in Chesterfield for a while, and now I am living in Leeds with my partner.
I started this blog to shed some light into the life of a student nurse who has her own history of mental illness, and the difficulties that this brings. I also wanted to share my experiences of being a lesbian and a Pagan in the NHS and the challenges I have faced. I have been paying close attention to the Twitter nursing community and Tweet Chats, but I am now on a quest to find others like me because sometimes I feel a bit isolated.
I have kept blogs before about various topics, I have had personal blogs and social justice blogs where I spoke a lot about my life and about various forms of oppression (feminism, ableism, racism, transphobia & homophobia) so this blog will probably incorporate some of that into it too. It will probably be an eclectic mix of everything that is important to me.
Thanks for reading 🙂
