That was supposed to.be 'job interview' just saw I didnt write.interview (im.sure.I did, probably.my.silly phone who also likes to put full stops everywhere as u probably noticed!!) My uni.do.6months theory then 6month.of.placement (ive just transferred.unis.too! So it's all bee abit mad) I.don't start placement til feb and find out.where I get in December. Looking forward to it. Its been.daunting starting a new.uni again too!! But.ive really.settled in now and much prefer it to my other uni!! Where abouts do u live? Wow u must have busy shifts then. Ive done 1shift. in.recovery so not much. My yr1 placements were a community hosp (elderly rehab) and an.elderly general.medical so ive not.had much.variety yet. I know what u mean.with nhsp!! I applied in july.and have my.interview in.nov! My friend applied.10months ago.and.is.now.waiting.on.references... abit.ridiculous. the private care agency.I worked for had me.working within 4weeks of my application including crb checks and training!! Wana.work.for.them.tho.instead.of.private cos at least then.I can.be a bank.nurse when.I get my.pin. thats seems a world away right now though!!

Haha lots of full stops .. Ahh I hope it goes ok, 2nd yr uni sucks coz your bang in the middle & finishing feels forever away but trust me, it flys & you'll wish u were a student again .... I had a right mixture of placements, lots of community, upper/lower gi, medical, haematology, cardiac, gynae & research .. Hated being a student coz I'm very shy & I got picked on a lot coz ppl see it as lack of interest .. Doing nhsp will also give you an insite into your chosen career pathway .. Have you decided what you wanna do when u qualify? Xxx
Ps, I live in Manchester, u?

Aw u had a Good mixture. I said to my.new uni.I need more variety cos my.last uni.didnt care. My uni is uxbridge (west london) and il have placements in central london (london imperial trust) I have a.compulsory community placement and im.hoping for health visiting cos.im interested in public health (but the lack.of clinical 'activities' is what im unsure of with health visiting cos.its.more.hands off Isnt it? Also hoping for cardiology or gynae. I get 3placements so if.i.got.3 of.them it would be perfect !

Yeah everyone I.spoke to said 2nd yr is the worst cos u are in.the.middle and cant always see that blue.uniform.at.the end lol! What madeu go for critical care xx

I did health visiting ... A lot of it students can't really go to visits coz its cases of abuse & vulnerability in patients, I found the few visits I did very interesting tho
If you ever need help on owt, let me no ... It's a shame ur last uni didn't care xxx

Yeah I thought that with health visiting, What did u do on.visits? Wondering if D.N would be better as its more hands. on. Got some time to decide and ur right about nhsp, thats another reason, so I can experience alot.more variety per shift. Not.sure I want ward work, I could do it now and.i.enjoy it but not sure id.manage it when.im.alot.older, dont.know how.the older ones do It! Thank you

I went to baby clinics & watched them get weighed etc ... Then a few peoples houses where they looked at the babies health, I bet it's quite similar to what a community midwife does .. It was quite interesting & coz I was placed in quite a deprived area of Manchester a lot of the cases were quite complex! I originally wanted to be a DN but they like experience and so I failed all the interviews, I wanna do that when I'm older I think ..hopefully someone will take me on when iv a few years experience under my belt!
My job luckily isn't ward work .. We do 4 day weeks, and occasional nights & weekends which aren't set in stone so you could get away with doing Monday to Friday I couldn't be a ward nurse with my diabetes, they tend to miss breaks and work over .. I'd be in a&e most shifts haha xxx

I always struggle after takeaways with my diabetes so I try to avoid too many carbs ... I spend the whole night getting my blood sugars down, drinking water by the gallon and peeing so it's not worth it ... Besides, I love a good fried beansprout haha! Atleast this way I can still participate in takeaways xxx

That makes sense now! I keep forgetting about your diabetes, doh! Is it just you and your bf having it? I don't have Chinese very often. X
