My time in A&E
My time is now up in A&E. I feel I have learnt so much during this placement, the learning experiences, the staff, the patients were all great. I did have some issues though. I am at the start of my 2nd year but some staff appeared to think that I was a 3rd year student…
Getting back on it…
So I totally suck at this blogging thing. I have started to see where I want to be in the future and I’m looking forward to becoming a nurse in 2021. I have started my second year of nurse training and I am currently on my first placement at the local A&E department which I…
Finished first year of uni
On 9th December 2018, I completed my first year of university and all I have left is an OSCE resit in January. I have 8 weeks off before I return for second year (if I return). My first assessed placement didn’t end too badly, I ended up having to go in the day after I…
Where I’m staying on holiday this year – Heathrow
It seems that I don’t go anywhere other that the States for my holidays, I actually don’t. I just love America, it’s history, people, sport and beer! We always go up to the airport the day before and stay in a hotel so as not to rush on the day of the flight, flights to…

When a bank job isn’t a bank job
Yesterday I had an interview for the local eye centre. I’m not looking for a new part-time job and don’t really need a 2nd job right now (other than increased debt payments) but I wanted a bank position where I could work as and when I liked and was local. I applied for the job…
Uni: Placement number 3
So I start my 3rd placement the week starting 27th August for 7 weeks. This will be my 1st private placement. It turns out that they aren’t funny about my wanting to do long days and I won’t be doing any Sundays as they really don’t do anything that day, in fact not much at…
