Just Gotta Make A Post!

Ahhh I just had to make a post because I'm so super excited and smiley and feel like I am so happy with things at the moment, I'm doing the right thing and I'm just relieved/happy/excited...ok that was a major use of the word 'happy' but it's too late to think of another word. Basically, I really feel like things are finally going right!

So, I finished my placement on Wednesday (I passed! WOO!) and I dunno what it was with the last couple of weeks, but I finally felt like things 'clicked' and I felt a bit more confident when I was there, and that was probably due to the fact that the nursing team was so fantastic, it would have been hard to NOT feel positive there! I wish so much that I had a couple more weeks there so I could have reached my full potential (unless I'd already reached it haha!) but you know when you get the feeling that maybe you could have done better? Maybe another 2 weeks would have made no difference, but I just really loved being there so much towards the end, that I could quite happily have stayed there forever! On my last day my mentor brought in cake, which was just the sweetest thing ever! My only regret is that I had a wobble at the start and I think it set me back a bit, but I'm getting there! Just loved it so much at the end! I don't want to go back to Uni!

As for other things, I'm nowhere near getting my essay done, nor revising as much for the exam, but I'm hoping that when I go back to Uni I will switch back to 'work mode' and get it done. I feel like I need a couple of days where I don't need to do anything, and can just chill out, so I plan to make the most of my last weekend of freedom til I'm back at Uni! Even if that does mean a weekend of X Factor, eating nice nibbles, and reading my chick lit book, I think it will do me the world of good and I'm looking forward to a relaxing weekend spending time with my family and friends, which I feel like I've abandoned a bit these last few weeks!

What else was I going to say? OHHHH yeah! I got details of my new placement, and whilst I've no idea what the ward does (as it's not actually opened yet, hope it's openend by November!) it is in the hospital I have just been in, right next door to my most recent placement (which I loved...did I mention?!) and one of the things I get stressy about is driving to places, so the fact that it's in the same hospital, I know how to get there and can use public transport, which is less stressful...it's all good! I think it's a renal ward, which does interest me as I touched on it a bit in my last placement, so I'm so ridiculously excited! I just hope it doesn't get changed cos apparently they sometimes can. Hope it doesn't change, plus one of my friends on the course, and it's a VERY small child branch group, is on the same ward so I'm really really really happy about that! She's so lovely it'll be so nice to work with her!

Right I'd better go! I don't think I'll sleep as I'm so happy! You know when you get the feeling that you're really happy and satisfied with life? It rarely comes along so I'm going to enjoy it while I can :o)

Na-night!
