4 THE WORLD OF NURSING I currently teach mental health and addiction nursing in the Bachelor of Nursing degree. I have worked as a Registered Nurse for over 25 years and I know that nurses can make a huge difference to a person s health experience and this can transform people s lives. Both nurses and health service users value very highly our relationship with each other and so, in my teaching, I strive to support nursing students to be kind, compassionate and caring as well as having a sound knowledge and understanding of health. Sarah Nursing Tutor and Registered Nurse Wintec has provided me with a challenging yet rewarding environment. The tutors are supportive and approachable, helping me to develop clinical skills to prepare for a career in nursing. Seamus Registered Nurse, Waikato DHB 4 Health and Social Practice
