The beauty of good placement
I have absolutely no right to be this confident about my midwifery exam tomorrow. I've reached the point where I figure if I didn't learn it while I was doing it for a month solid on clinical, then I've got bigger problems cos I've treated dozens of people incorrectly.
I think that's the beauty of a good clinical placement - it makes you learn the theory because you have to use it or look like an idiot.
Imagine how much of an idiot I'll look tomorrow if this theory of mine proves false.
It's not to say I'm not studying - I am. I'm just finding it frighteningly reassuringly easy, because it seems most of the knowledge is already moping around up there in the old grey matter, just waiting for something useful to do. That being said, I think the beer over lunch probably deserved a re-think.
The mental health exam on Thursday is another matter entirely ... the clinical for that was all but useless ...
