Luckily, I will also be on the same ward for my management placement for 12 weeks so I think I'm going to have a positive experience and hopefully a smooth transition from Student Nurse to Registered Nurse!
The interview process was no where near as scary as I thought it was going to be, in fact I quite enjoyed it! For anyone going for an interview, just be yourself, smile and talk about your experiences!
In other news.....I'm still plodding on with my Dissertation. It's due in next week so I'm just doing some final ammendments and tweaking until I'm as happy with it as I can be. However, although I am excited to get this assignment finished, I'm not looking forward to the fact that I need to crack on with the final 2 essays of the course! These are both due in at the end of April.....doesn't look like I will be getting much of a break at Easter!
Thought I would also leave some Top Dissertation Tips:
- Start as early as possible - everything takes twice as long as you think it will.
- Pick a topic you are truely passionate about.
- Find a study buddy....Dissertation Hell can be a lonely place!
- Save, Save, Save and Save again! No-one wants to re-write 10000 + words!
- Reference as you go.
- Feel proud! It's an amazing achievement to complete a dissertation at the end of a mentally and physically draining course! At some point, you will reap the rewards!
