About
Brave enough to learn
Care in Education is a space built on compassion, reflection, and the drive to improve education for student nurses.
I’m Beki, I’m a Mental Health Nurse, and I have a PGCE in Further Education. I am someone who cares deeply about the experiences of student nurses and educators, and want to make a space where clinical education is both impactful and accessible.
This space came from frustration. From watching:
Student nurses feeling lost and unsure how to maximise their learning and development
Clinical staff feeling underprepared, overstretched, and misunderstood
A growing disconnect where no one quite feels heard, valued, or with enough resources to effectively learn or teach
So I built this space. Not to lecture, but to support. To create something that:
Centres compassion, care, and reflective practice in education
Offers practical tools and gentle guidance for students on their learning journey
Gives clinical educators support and resources to be confident, fair, and empowering
Bridges the gap between “you should know this” and “let’s learn it together”
A bit about me
I’m passionate, warm, confident, funny, and deeply values-led
I’m experienced in nurse education and mental health practice
I believe in being boundaried and brave, but always with care and integrity
I don’t believe in perfection, I believe in progress, reflection, and kindness
Being brave enough to learn is about sitting with discomfort. Real growth doesn’t happen when things feel easy. It happens when something challenges you, when you feel unsure, when you have to ask yourself what’s working and what isn’t.
Learning takes honesty. It means being willing to reflect, to admit mistakes, to try again. That isn’t always easy in systems that are overstretched, or where students and educators both feel under pressure.
We need more brave spaces in nurse education. Places where students can say, “I don’t get this,” and where educators can say, “This isn’t working — how do we fix it?”
It’s not about being fearless. It’s about being open, reflective, and willing to try. That’s what this space is here to support.

This space is written by a mental health nurse, but it’s for all nurses and educators. Whether you’re here to learn, teach, reflect, or start again, you’re welcome. I want you to feel confident, supported, and like you’re not doing it alone.
All of the content on this site is created from my own experience working extensively in student nurse education. It reflects my knowledge, opinions, and practice as both a registered mental health nurse and a qualified teacher with a PGCE in Further Education. My work is grounded in pedagogy, adult learning theory, and reflective practice. These resources are designed to support and scaffold learning in compassionate, accessible ways for students and clinical educators.
I am not affiliated with the NMC, MYEPAD, Pan-London PAD, or any university, and nothing here replaces PAD documents, statutory training, or official SSSA guidance. These are not formal learning packages. They are tools that may support students in evidencing their development, and that may help assessors and supervisors feel more confident in their role. Use what helps and always follow your university or trust’s guidance.
Let’s make the learning journey better, together.
