Nearing the end of the 2nd year......

Again, it has been a long while since I last posted! Just highlights how busy I am all the time! Since January, I'm pleased to say I passed all last semesters modules and have since completed 3 further modules....however still have to wait till June for the results! :) I am now on my final placement of the 2nd year. My last placement was on a unit that specialised in End of Life Care. I found the experience really valuable, and enjoyed every shift. I learned lots about end of life drugs, and was privileged to meet so many amazing and inspiring patients! My time there will always be remembered fondly. However, it has to be said that I don't think I could work in an environment which only specialises in EOL care long term, as it really takes it's toll emotionally. I found it very difficult to shake off the sadness at the end of the day :( I am presently on placement on a rehabilitation unit, which I am loving. It's very busy, and I'm now being given so many more responsibilities but I'm enjoying the challenge, and it's great to see people re-gain their independence and go home! :)
Family life is good at the mo....kids and hubby all happy and well :) I've said this before, but time is whizzing by.... Next stop....3rd year!!! :)
