OMG wow an entry!!!!!!!!!
Well it must be well over 12 months since i put anything on here, been sucked into Facebook like everyone else but nevertheless i'm gonna post here anyway (to myself only most likely!!!)
I'm still working at the Royal Preston Hospital splitting my time between anaesthetics and recovery (but doing more anaesthetics really). Finding things a little easier nowadays after a very shakey start in anaesthetics, just come off a gruelling stint on nights so have a nice week off to recouperate. Nights were Ok but busy, you get a much bigger variety of cases in emergency theatre (the only theatre still operating at night) plus you get the chance to go up to A & E to help out and accompany patient's on transfers to other hospitals, potentially there is the scope to go on the air ambulance but noone ever gets the chance, shame.
I'm beginning to enjoy my job a whole lot more and i work with a great bunch of colleagues who i get on very well with, lots of very nice, high quality people that are a pleasure to work alongside. I've realised that job satisfaction is way more important than a big salary and i feel i'm being paid handsomely when i look at it that way. Working alongside people in the caring professions has had a very profound effect on me (coming fom an office background where back stabbing and bitchiness are rife!), and i've learned a great deal about myself. Most importantly i realise that i am actually a nurse and have the qualities required to carry out that job, people in work say i'm a natural at it and this makes me very happy. I'm going to retrain as a Registered Nurse in the near future (money permitting) and have recently set the wheels in motion in applying for a secondment from work. This is not going to be easy as they only take 4 secondees on a year and i will be up against over 100 other applicants, plus they won't be too keen on letting me leave theatres where they are very short staffed; still i have to try, it may be my only way in due to financial committments.
The bad news is i'm still on my own relationship wise, this is a very sad state of affairs and it's now the longest i've ever been without a woman in my life. To tell you the truth i'm very busy building my career and i've just not had time to go out and meet someone special. I'm conscious of the fact that i'm 33 now and time is ticking on so i must start making a move, there are loads of single girls around i could get together with, it must be a priority in the immediate future to sort this out.
