Its funny really but everyone asks me how its going and and ho I am, and my answer is its great but I'm soo busy and tired but not in a bad way. At that point you can [insert funny look they give me]. I'm tired in a good way because i know its what I ant to do and I'm working towards it although its stressful and hectic, I've worked in healthcare for four years now and stressful and hectic is normal to me. It pushes me and lets me improve the way I do things so I don't see it as a bad thing.
I seem to be following my own advice so far, I've stayed organised (for the most part), I've de-stressed (usually with a very bubbly bath and a glass of Malibu and lemonade) and I know why I'm doing this. I'd say I'm more determined to get through it and because a Nurse as planned. The support from family friends and work colleagues has been great I couldn't be happier with the people in my life.
Just for context my route into nursing is innovative not just because of my secondment with Spiral health but also with the fact that the University of Bolton in partnership with Lancashire teaching hospitals is the first to offer non-commisioned nursing programme
