My name is Georgia, I'm studying a Bachelor of Nursing at Uni SA, currently in my second year. 

I actually didn't know anything about community nursing before my placement started, so it's been really great to be able to learn about community nursing and also get to know all the staff and nurses that work here at Pop Up Health  

Highlight for me would definitely be being on the road and being able to meet the patients, build that rapport with them, and I guess just making that positive impact. 

All the nurses have been super helpful and super supportive. The nurses that I've been on the road with have been really great with their time organization, making sure that they're all ready for their run. 

To myself, I've had to definitely improve on my documentation, so I've learned lots of new skills with structuring that. 

I would definitely consider becoming a community nurse. I think it's a great way for patients to get what they need with care packages, and I've definitely learned a lot about community nursing.
