Hello all you lovely people
I'm here and have been uber busy
I'm sorry guys I know its been a wee while, but as I'm sure you can understand I have been a busy bug!
So where am I know??
I have- in theory- finished all theory for first year (eeeee!!!) and have 3 weeks left of a special schools placement and that's- hopefully!- IT for first year!!
Oh my gosh someone pinch me!
Of course I still have to make some changes on the assignment I failed, but essentially I am almost a year two nursing student!
So in summary my first year has looked like this:
Semester one:
- 3 modules: theories of nursing, introduction to life sciences, nursing skills
- 2 exams: life science (biology) and numeracy
- 1 poster presentation on a care plan
- 1 practical exam (basic life support)
- 1 assignment based on the theories of nursing module
- 1 placement (12 week hospital ward)
Semester two:
- 3 modules: communication with children and young people, professional values ethics and law, life sciences
- 1 presentation on a case study
- 2 essays based on social sciences and professional values, law and ethics
- 1 placement (6 week special school)
So as I said busy, busy!
Right now I have one day left at my special school placement and then the half term break, followed by a further 3 weeks at the school. I will do a post about the special school and my experience there...... but not for today!
The essays I have written I am hoping with everything I have I will have passed them, I'll let you know either way!
On that note I will also be constructing a post around dyslexia and studying nursing, as after being advised by a tutor I was assessed and found to be dyslexic. This has actually really eased my ' I cant do it'ness as now I have a reason why I was finding some aspects of the course so tricky!
Until my fingers find the energy to bounce around the keyboard telling nursey tales, have fun and eat yummy food!
Kimbers xXx
