I know, or at least empirical evidence would suggest that I am a good (student) nurse. I’ve not done anything award winningly stupid, and I’ve done some pretty sensible things. I’ve questioned doctors, because I’ve wanted a rationalle for an action. I can answer most questions with a fair degree of accuracy. On a good day with a following wind, after a while on a ward, I can do a drug round and not have to look at the BNF for 90% of the drugs.
I can bandage, set up IVs, dress wounds. I can evaluate patients, I can spot a #NOF when I walk into A&E.
So why is it that every fracking placement I feel sick and stressed before I go? Why is each and every last night before placement so fracking awful? Argh. I hate my head sometimes.
The camera, incidentally, is very nice. If anyone can get me the fracking DiMage software, not the update that refuses to install because the original’s not there, I’d be really greatful.
