As it currently stands I am still on placement in Neuro Theaters and loving it. I can cancel the placement if I want to but the uni doesn’t know yet how/when I’ll be able to make up the missed hours & assessments. As I also work as a HCA within the trust I don’t see…

Getting that job
I have officially registered onto my final year of nursing, this means I’m a soon to qualify nurse! I can now start applying for roles. Some people may say it’s too early to be doing this but I know of people who have received job offers in October with a start date of the following…
I can’t be a healthy eating blog.
You’ll find most healthy eating or lifestyle bloggers eating low fat this low fat that. Sharing pictures of their acai or smoothy bowls and saying vegan is the way to go. I’m most definitely not one of them. I don’t eat much fruit, for one it’s expensive and I’m not much of a fan of…
Things aren’t going to plan
My anxiety has been a cloud all around me these past few weeks. I’m able to get out of the house but if it’s something I don’t want to do, like going to work, I want to hide from the world.I need to know exactly what is going on & what is going to happen….
Struggling
So I had a meltdown as at Christmas event on Sunday. I don’t know what really went on I don’t remember much of it. One min I’m having a great time the next I’m in tears and feeling all alone. I can’t face seeing the people I was with that day (other than OH) or…
Update on university life so far
Year 1 marks As you can see my marks are average. PCP was a load of crap 🙁 The units that are PASS are only pass or fail. Annoying as the pass exam I got 100% and only needed 80% to pass. I am a solid 2:2 student so far. I’d like 2:1 but I…
That time I start thinking I have MH issues
I’ve always thought I’d had things going on in my head, I just was good as suppressing them. I’d have down days, feel depressed, not want to leave the house or do anything days. I think it has started to come to ahead this year. During my first placement in ED in March/April I was…
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…
Half way through placement # 3
So far I have been on my placement for 3 weeks with 4 weeks left. I’ve worked with my mentor 3 times (all early shifts) and don’t appear to have a buddy mentor, though I have worked with one nurse a lot. I’m not sure what to make of this placement or how I am…
