About Me

My photo
Funky, colourful person. Mother to my 3 year old daughter, love going out and having a drink with friends and dancing to music of all sorts, living a very stressful life which is unlikely to change any time soon, doing the best i can with what i have. Im a very loyal person and am well known for chatting the hind legs off a donkey as well as being a great listener. If you need to offload your troubles then im your woman. Tell me anything it will never go any further. Im a giver and a sharer and care a lot for people and im open minded to the point if im not careful my brain will fall out of my head.... I make spelling mistakes, but im busy, forgive me.... Everything happens for a reason, we just don't always know what that reason is..

Cannulas and Competence

Today my mentor showed me how to remove a cannula and then when 2 patients had finished their infusions i got to remove them by myself with her watching, i did it without no problems, and the ladies who i took them off was really happy with me. I felt great and trusted :)

I have started to feel much more competent on my 2nd day of this placement, am doing lots of things without being asked and building up good relationships with my bay of patients, This placement is going really well so far and i am loving (even with my feet and legs hurting so much from all the standing etc) working on this adult placement, and so far i feel i am getting more ot of this placement than i did with my 1st branch placement which was mental health. But hey its only my 2nd one so who knows what the next placement will bring...

Its late tomorrow will be my 3rd long day in a row, i am shattered and i still have some of my practice learning document to do.
