Anxiety Hits
I always end up feeling so anxious before starting a labour ward placement. The last baby I delivered was May 10th last year and I haven't had a proper placement in labour ward for over a year, perhaps it's no wonder I'm anxious. Being in my final year now I know that there'll be so much more expected of me and although I'm sure after the first few days it'll feel like I've never been away....I can't help but worry :o) On top of the anxiety I just found out from one of my classmates that they have now made all the roads surrounding the hospital no parking zones, forcing us to use the multi-storey car park which will cost me £12 for each 12 hour shift I do....I don't get paid to work in the hospital and now it's going to cost me to be there!!! It's sickening really and not just for students and staff but for patients and relatives too.
