4 weeks done and dusted already.....

Wow! What a busy but fab 4 weeks as a student nurse! :) The days are flying by, but I am actually enjoying being so busy :) Its so exciting...and every day feels like I'm one step closer to achieveing my goal! :)
Since my last post, I have completed all the mandatory training I need to do to recieve my Fitness to Practice card! Yey!! :) Really enjoyed Hospital Life Support (HLS)...was actually good fun...our Uni have a brilliant teaching method...relaxed and fun yet informative :) Manual Handling was a little heavier...however it was so satisfying to have the competancies signed off! :)
This weekend is going to be busy as I have put aside some time to really crack on with the essay I have to hand in soon....Hubby and the kids are off to the cinema while I shut myself away and get myself back into the academic writing zone...I'm sure it'll be fine once I get stuck in...I loved it at college! :)

Clinical Skills....

First session in the Clinical Skills Lab today...and I loved every minute :)
We had a look at and a go at Waste disposal...PPE...Hand-washing and Urine analysis...very informative and felt great to finally be doing some hands on practice :) 6 hours practice down...2294 to go! Lol! :)
My nerves are starting to subside a little now, although I'm sure they will re-appear leading up to placement time...only 5 weeks till we are let loose on the ward! yey!! :) :)
