Nursing has eaten my life
So, second year nursing.
There's a lot to it. A LOT. We're getting a ton more biological science this semester (two subject's worth crammed into a single unit), a medication management course and a nursing skills unit which is highly useful but I don't think gives us enough time to pick up the skills - we're expected to get the basics at uni and get familiar with them on prac. I really truly hope I'm not catheterising anybody on my prac!
Oh, clinical placement. I'm at RPA for first semester, in the haematology department! This is good placement karma at long last! Second semester is surg at Sydney Hospital, right in the middle of the city and just around the corner from the Romantic Lead's work. And I'll get to go round the City Circle on my train trip in - no matter how long I live here, I still think the view over the Harbour from Circular Quay in the morning is awesome.
Non-uni stuff... hmm. We have four people in the Dulwich Hill house again. Me, Mich and Matt have been joined by Steph, another science nerdy type who is cute but fierce. The household dynamic is still settling down (kitty is weirded out big time) but she's cool enough.
Three and a half years for me and Michie. Whoa.
Iunno, not much else to tell, I don't think. How are you all?
Over 'n out,
