3rd year just around the corner.....

Just had 3rd year timetable emailed to us.....going to be busy busy!

I'm not going to lie though....I'm a little excited and have already filled in my diary! :)

Summer......

The summer hols have arrived! :) Already feel at a loss to do with all this spare time but I'm determined to enjoy it! Spent the afternoon in the garden with a book! :)

Finishing placement this week was bitter sweet. I will miss the routine, staff and patients but I feel so worn out that I know I'm ready for a bit of a break! This 2nd year of the course has been really full on....assignments and work load have been hard going alongside busy placements! Placement stepped up a notch this year and having extra responsibility is exhausting! But I survived and I feel academically and practically prepared for the 3rd and final year of this journey :)

Night out with the uni girls tomorrow....long overdue and I'm looking forward to catching up :)

Feeling good......

A....B+.....B+......happy happy! Good end to the 2nd year! :) Feeling much more confident about going into the 3rd year now! :)

But before then I only have 5 shifts left on placement and then a long summer to enjoy! :) 

Feeling proud! :)

Nearing the end of the final placement of year 2.......

For the last 5 weeks I have been in placement on a ward which specialises in rehabilitation. I have found this placement to be really great for consolidating everything I have learned over the last 2 years. I have had all my competences signed off and recieved some really positive feedback.

Next week I will be managing my own bay of 4 patients for the whole week! I'm a little nervous but I know it's going to be a great experience and will give me a taster of what is going to be expected of me during my final 2 placements in the 3rd year.

Results day on Monday and I'm on an early shift so will have to pop out on my break to find out how I have done! Will then be able to relax (hopefully!) and enjoy the last week as a 2nd year! Eeeek! :)

Anyway...on a personal note....have lots to look forward to. One of my best nursey friends is getting married in 4 weeks and we are soon going to be enjoying her vintage hen day/night on a narrow boat! :) I'm sure it's going to be a fab day and just what we all need to recharge our batteries! :)

In 6 weeks we are off on our family holiday to Tunisia! :) We can not wait! :) Lots to smile about and a great reminder that hard work has great rewards!! :)

Will post again after results on Monday and let you know how I've done! Fingers crossed for me please peeps! :) xx
