In recent weeks I have spent a very long time working on an assignment, failed said assignment and am now in the process of sorting out a re-sub, which is dull for me, but would be even more dull for you to read about!
But what else has been happening in Nurse P's little world? I hear you cry, well:
- We've been allocated our next placements for 3 weeks time,
- We've been given the dates for our next exam,
- I've baked some truly fantastic cakes,
And ... - I have spent a lot of nights watching tele I never got into on my laptop to cope with my failings as a Student nurse!
I'll deal with them one by one!
- I'm being sent to a Neuro-rehab ward, which I'm really looking forward to, I'll be dealing with everything from strokes to spinal injury which I think'll be really interesting. My last ward, although I loved it, was mainly booking people in and taking obs - so I'm itching to get back out there and learn some personal care skills, as well as really hot up on my clinical skills like injections and drugs rounds - they're really important skills to hone and I think to be second year student nurse you really do need a good grasp of such skills.
- Three weeks to go - and then I'll be sitting my final exam for my first year! It's a seen exam, which on the one hand is great because it means that I can formulate a strong answer and really prepare, on the other hand, for dyslexics like myself this can present there own challenges.
- And when I say truly fantastic - I mean astonishingly fabulous and brilliant! I made them for my friend T for her birthday, and when I went round for a glass of wine 2 days later they were gone!! I've attached the recipe, mine were so delicious but a little wonky on top so I chucked on a bit of chocolate fudge butter-cream on top. My own recipe of melted dark chocolate, butter and icing sugar blended and whacked in the fridge to cool for a bit.
http://www.wilton.com/recipe/Brownie-Cupcakes - I've done a whole load of old Dr Who's, from the Tennant and Ecclestone era - I'd forgotten how good they were! And on my flatmate's advice I've taken My Mad Fat Diary out for a spin - and love it! If you haven't had a look yet - find it on 4OD and try it out, it's really good, funny, sweet and very moving at times. However: for those whovians among you - here's my run down on my top 5 favorite Doctor Who episodes!
