It's all over, no more year and week count on my posts because uni is over and I am now a qualified nurse working full time! Never thought I'd see the day, but here it is!
I'm now on my 3rd week, still supernumerary until next week which is good.
Unlike lots of people, I qualified in a different county and therefore a different trust so i made the difficult choice of moving to a new place for my first job.
The first 2 weeks were enjoyable but really tough. I felt like I had started all over again, I didn't know anything especially because my trust does everything so differently (drug charts, paperwork etc) but after asking everyone a million and one question I'm slowly getting to grips with it all.
And most importantly...I'm loving it!
I had my induction this week and went on my band 5 transition today which is my preceptorship. There are lots of opportunities and the trust is very proactive with skills and development. I get to do a masters once I've finished my preceptorship if I want to!
Anyway, just thought I'd drop in and say hi, I hope you are all doing well. I am living proof that uni does end and you will get there!

About Me
- Alex*Maria
- 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!
