Without your help and support I would not have become the nurse I am today, with the confidence and the abilities I have. When it feels like no one has time to care about you as an individual and your journey, TPPP team are able to be empathetic and give you the boost that you need to keep going RN TPPP participant 2022. TPPP has been an amazing experience for me and I have recommended to my student RNs to apply for it as soon as they can. The support you are given through the TPPP is valuable. Thank you girls for your time RN TPPP participant 2022. I cannot thank the TPPP support team enough for all of the support and guidance that I have been given this year. It has been an incredibly hard year for myself with the TPPP and other life stressors and I definitely couldn t of gotten through the TPPP without them! Very lucky to have such a great support team for a super important year in my career ? RN TPPP participant 2022. Thank you very much for giving us so much support this year. I had a great year, enjoyed the study days (even the speed interviews strangely enough) and feel like I am a better nurse for the support you have given us :) RN TPPP participant 2022.
