Sam Palmer-Nash (@scPALMERNASH)
I’m Sam, and I am a second-year learning disability nursing student at the University of Hull. I have worked with people with learning disabilities for many years in various roles. I am passionate about patients receiving the best possible care where their unique health challenges are addressed holistically. I am really into peer support and education. I try really hard to provide a learning disability angle when participating in peer support discussions on social media to educate other health care professionals.
As well as a proud @WeStudents team member, I am also proud to be the Social Media Officer and committee member for the Hull Nursing Society. At the end of the day, when I want to unwind from all things nursing, I enjoy a boxsets marathon, socialising with my friends, have a newfound love for driving, I love a road trip!

Nadene Chandler @nadenegchandler
Hi! I’m Nadene, i’m a September 19 adult nursing student at Sheffield Hallam University. I’m hoping to work as a NICU nurse when I qualify in 2022. Nursing has always been a dream of mine, but it wasn’t until being a patient myself that I knew changing careers to become a nurse was the right choice. During my first two years of my degree, the support from fellow student nurses on social media has helped me so much and I knew that joining a community like #WeStNs was something I wanted to be a part of and to support follow students.
Eniola Sanusi (@Enny__y)
Hi!! My name is Eniola ‘Eni’. I’m a second-year BSc. Adult nursing student at the University of Hertfordshire and also a student ambassador for my program. I am Nigerian. I am interested in promoting diversity, mental health awareness especially in Africa, and advocacy. I appreciate what we do @westudentnurses because, in my little way, I’m able to support and encourage other students like myself to the best of my ability. When I’m not being a student nurse/carer I enjoy reading and listening to music. I also love good food and volunteering. I recently volunteered to take up the student rep role for my cohort to ensure our voices were heard and our needs are met.

Leanne Howlett @howlett_leanne
Leanne is a 2nd year Mental Health Nursing student at Coventry University. Prior to taking up nursing she spent 7 years working as a Solicitor but after experiencing postnatal depression and being cared for by an amazing nurse she was inspired to make the leap into mental health nursing and made a crazy lockdown decision to make the jump from career woman to student. Her passion is perinatal mental health and raising awareness and reducing the stigma associated with this. She feels passionate about ensuring that all professionals are keeping parents' mental health in mind during this time and loves to spread the message whatever placement she’s on (even when she went to the dementia team!).
She also runs a charity supporting parents with their mental health during pregnancy or after having a baby which she set up herself and has loved watching grow over the last few years.
Outside of uni Leanne enjoys spending time with her two children, reading and running.

Hey Everyone!
I’m Bethan the team lead of the @WeStudentNurse account. I’m currently in third year studying Dual Reg Children’s and Mental Health Nursing with Leadership at the University of Leicester. As my degree title suggests, a passion of mine is Leadership in Nursing, another is Sexual Health education in young people, and mental health awareness in young people. I joined Twitter with an aim to network with people and expand my opportunities as a student nurse and I did just that! Through WeStudentNurse I got to meet with nurses across the country, organise awareness events and loads more. I’m excited to see where we’ll take the @WeStudentNurse account this year and look forward to the year ahead.
I’m also a big advocate of life outside of nursing which I talk about in my blog - https://theimmaturenursingstudent.wordpress.com and when I’m not running the account or being a student nurse I’m an amateur ballroom dancer that competes on the weekends!

I’m also passionate about my role as a Dementia Friends and Time To Change Champion where I have the pleasure of raising awareness of mental health and dementia with people of all ages and backgrounds. Having aspired to be a qualified nurse for a number of years I have made the most of every opportunity the course has to offer.
Sam Kitchen @samkitchen03
I’m a third-year student Learning Disability nurse studying at the University of Hull. Before studying Nursing, I studied Music, graduating in 2014. I chose to study Learning Disability Nursing after witnessing discrimination in healthcare and want to use my privilege to help others.
I’m passionate about ensuring student nurses access peer support and community, which led to me creating Hull’s thriving Nursing Society in 2020. I’m an advocate for my future clients and patients, but also for my student nurse colleagues, which has led to being shortlisted for a Student Nursing Times award for Outstanding Contribution to Student Affairs 2021.
I was a newbie to Twitter, but I’ve now met so many people from all 4 nations, who have taught me so much about nursing, healthcare and beyond, for which I am very grateful.
