About Me

My photo
My name is Alex and I am a full-time student nurse living in Birmingham. I thought I'd blog my way through my training to give others some insight and information, as well as giving myself a lovely reminder of how far I've come on this seemingly long and sometimes difficult journey. Enjoy!

Off on Holiday! ...Year 2 Week 17

Hey guys, just to let you know I'm off on holiday from Tuesday for 2 weeks!
Going with my boyfriend to stay with my Nan in Portugal (I'm half Portuguese) and can't wait!
Sun, Sea and Suspicious Nan ;) hahaha

Hope you're all well and don't miss me (too much)

Bye for now!

Summertime ...Year 2 Week 16

Hi guys hope you are all well :) I just want to thank you all so much for reading my blog, I see all of the views and it makes me very very happy :) I recorded an updated nursing blog for my channel and I'll link you to it when I put it up :)

Well, I'm into my 3rd week at home and I haven't done anything study-wise; just loving this time off. It's the last summer off I'll ever have! (Until I retire haha)

Feeling a total 2nd year slog; basically a complete lack of motivation. It really doesn't feel like I'll be moving back to birmingham, I'm so happy at home! Miss my friends though.

Leave me a comment if you like, let me know about your situation :)
Thank
Alex

I'm home! ...Year 2 Week 14

I'm finally home for the summer, yippee!

For the next 4 weeks I am supposed to be on Community Scoping Experience (CSE) which is our time to choose what we want to do with it. My mum is a health visitor supervisor so has organised a few bits and bobs for me, but we'll see if the people drop out or not. But I will be starting next week and am looking forward to getting an idea of my mums role at work :)

So on Friday I finished the first 3 months of uni. 12 weeks solid of university which was honestly driving me crazy! I have loads of work to crack on with to prepare for assignments and exams later on in the year, so I definitely have a lot to be doing in the next 2 months! Hope I do actually do it.... ;)

Anyways, I'm very excited as in 1 months time I will be halfway through my entire training! It's hopefully all downhill from there-on (in a good way) scary to think I will be responsible for people lives though! Ahhh

Hope you guys are all well!
Muchos luvos, Alex x
