I’ve been reading other blogs and I realised everyone is doing a post saying goodbye to 2005 and hello to 2006. Since I’m a sheep I think I will do the same (even though its abit late).
Okie dokie.
Worst aspects about 2005;
- very stressful in regards to my degree
- working at woolies, but that should really go without saying
- being poor
- not being able to go on a holiday
- failing a test thing (which i do not want to mention because its embaressing)
Best things about 2005 (have to end the post thinking about the good things)
- turning 21 and having a fun party with my friends, family and sweeet boyfriend
- Mark and I got to the 1 year mark of being together (wohoo)
- having the nicest 21st birthday weekend with Markness ever
- helping Mark look after kitty cats Ice and Vanilla (they are gorgeous kitties).
- discovering I want to specialise in mental health nursing
- having the greatest 2 weeks clinical for my mental health placement
- completing my 1 month clinical and accomplishing great things during that time
- making friends on my 1 month clinical
- comleting my degree
- getting my first ever distinction!
- getting good marks at uni
- hanging out with my uni friends
- feeling loved at christmas
- getting a new job as a new grad!
- being able to give woolies my 2 weeks notice (wohoo! x2)
- buying my flat lcd tv
2005 was a great great year for me. i loved it. lets hope 2006 will be an even better year (heres to hoping i can control my anxiety over my new job, lol)

Hi!!! 6 more days of clinical to go! omg omg omg omg!! My time on clinical has been really helpful and definently a beneficial experience. I have more experience now, which is making me feel less apprehensive about my upcomming RN position.
Clinical has cut into my Mark time! So not fair. I miss my spunky Mark.

I am a bit moody today, and its not even that time of the month! Grrr. I am in a pissed off mood. I think it’s because I am broke. Being broke must make people moody. Next year with my new job I am going to have more money than I have ever had at one time. Nurses get paid shit too, so that just shows that I have been a poor poor student for far too long. I have my 4 week block of clinical for uni starting on Monday. I am doing my block of clinical in the same hospital that I go my new job (that starts in january). The REALLY CRAP thing about clinical is that I have TO WORK FOR FREE! Ack. Bloody hell.
My exams are all finished. I think I may have failed them, oh wait, optimistic me is saying that I will pass and I have nothing to worry about. SHUT UP optimistic Ange! what the heck would you know? you live in la la land.
Tonight I am going out to dinner with Markness and about 30 people from uni. We are going to a Japanese restaurant in the city. We organised it to celebrate the end of exams and hopefully the completion of our course. Should be fun.

I’m currently in the computer labs at uni. I’m trying to eat up some time before my next class which starts at 4. I have about an hour to go. It’s a pretty hot day today (wearing my mini, hehe), but it’s also raining. Australian weather is weird.
It was nice seeing my uni friends today. Hadnt seen them in 2 weeks becuase of clinical!
I got part of my marks back for NC7. I got 32/40 for my essay and 8/10 for my professional profile thing. I’m getting my mark back from my poster (nc7) also some time this week. The people with terrific posters are getting them shown at a conference, mine isnt! How poo! This means i need to get 10 marks from my poster and other assignment to pass the unit. Will I be able to get 10 marks out of 50? Definently! Lol. If I didnt how sucky would that be, ay? Failing NC7 would suck. I’m getting my nt11 mark back tomorrow during class! ack. Oh, and today I might be getting my mark back for the assignment i did for nc6 (the 4pm class today).
While on the subject of marks, hehe………Mark has a math test today! I hope he passes because I know how much he hates maths. He should be fine though.

Today is Friday, so therefore the last day of my clinical for this week. I can honestly say that I’ve been having a great time on my Mental Health Nursing Placement. It is different from nursing in a regular medical hospital/ward, but I kind of find it more rewarding. I had pm shift this week and next week I will be in the same ward, but am shift. I’ve had fun talking to the patients, doing arts and craft with them, making stress balls!, finishing puzzles, playing uno! hehe.

Hi everybody!
It was my first day on my mental health nursing placement, yay. It was a bit of a bludge today, just orientation stuff. Will start on the ward tomorrow. I’m hoping it will be a good week.

There is this person at uni that is always rude to me whenever she speaks to me. I don’t know why she is like that. I don’t even know her. We’re not friends. I don’t speak to her unless we are in the same class and I’m in like a group work thing with her. I’ve been in her group about twice and every time I didnt want to be. I kind of had no choice. She is not a nice person. I just kinda become powerless when she is being rude to me. It just reminds me of highschool and I turn into an insecure teenager again. *Sigh* I hate that feeling, makes me want to cry.
Anyway, I don’t know what her problem is, but she seems like not a nice person.
I’m re-doing my nc6 assignment now. It’s due tomorrow. Wish me luck.

Had my nursing job interview this morning. I think it went ok. I’ve decided I’m not going to dwell on it and agonise and replay everything that I said and did at the interview in my head. I have a habbit of doing that and stressing myself out. Everytime today that I found myself thinking about it I pushed it out of my head. I can’t go back in time and change anything anyway, so no point in stressing over it.
I’ve been feeling abit ill today (and no, not because of my interview. I started feeling sick after it actually!). Hopefully tomorrow I will feel a bit better.

I have to make a poster for uni. We have a list of topics to choose from. I started out with “nursing workplace culture”, but found crap-all on the information front for it. I’ve decided to do “transition to professional practice”, but the world seems to be out to get me because the stupid uni website is being an arse.
Now I’m going to make a private post about someone that irked me today and about my horrible dream last night.

My clinical placement is over! thank goodness! I really enjoyed my first week placement in a surgical ward, but I didnt particularly like my 2nd week placement in an acute stroke unit. Both placments were in 2 different hospitals, one in the western suburbs another in the city area. I’ve come to the conclusion that I want to work in the western suburb hospitals. I just like the hospitals better for some reason. In my second week of clinical I didnt like the way the nurses did a few things. Lets just say that the way they practice might get them in some trouble in the future. They sign off on meds before they have even given it to the patient! They didnt even bother taking the med charts with them. I made sure everytime I gave a med I took the med chart with me.
