Honey, I'm hoooome! ...Year 3 Week 46

Hello all! How are you?

So some more big news from me...I've said goodbye to Birmingham for good! I moved home about 2 weeks ago and I have never been happier, it's so good to be home that I can't believe I've been living away for almost 3.5 years.

I also went to my new ward to meet my ward manager and sisters and to have a look around. They've provided me with a huge medication workbook and an even bigger competency booklet for all basic tasks on the ward.

The shifts are completely different to what I'm used to, I have always worked 07:00-19:30 or 19:00-07:30. But now my shifts are:

07:15-15:15
13:15-21:15 or
20:45-07:45

7.5h shifts which means I'll be working 5 days a week like a normal job, only it'll include weekends. At first I wasn't sure but now I am really happy as the shorter shifts mean I can have more of a life and won't be so exhausted all of the time.

I start work on 30th March as a HCA for just 2 weeks (hopefully) until my PIN comes through, woohoo.

I have my new staff nurse uniform too which is soooo exciting! 2 tunics and 2 dresses, feels surreal.

Until I actually start work I'm working in a ver small local hospital as an agency HCA about 30h a week, it's very slow compared to what I'm used to but I'm just chilled out and getting to know everyone who works there :)

Hope you're all good. Any questions for me?? xx
