Video transcript
So, I had my interview back in February, but I didn't get my nursing PIN until September, so there's a long wait between getting the job and starting and everyone was fantastic. The staff were really, really, really helpful, keeping me up to date with how my application was progressing and also supporting me and getting my PIN and making sure that everything was sorted for the NMC register.
So, there's a great community here at Benenden Hospital. The staff love to get involved with things so it's a great environment to be in. I would recommend for any newly qualified clinical staff to work at Benenden hospital. It's such a supportive environment, there's plenty of staff who are really experienced and very, very happy to help and yeah, you can explore loads of different areas and find what works for you.
