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!

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!

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

I went for a New Job...Year 2 Week 10
Hello all!
I had an interview on Monday for in-house bank staff as a HCA. Hopefully I do get it as it's slightly better pay, I get proper uniform and I can get lots of different training which will benefit me in the long run.
But...I really am not that bothered! I took a look on the website the night before but didn't even practice THE question "why do you want to work for us" lol! Oh well we shall see haha. I have the same job anyways and I work in the same hospital but its just an outside agency.
Last week was annual leave which was lovely :) got to go home and spend time with my family, boyfriend and his family. Love his little nephews :)
Well anyways I have uni tomorrow morning and will then hopefully work a late and an early on Friday. Fingers crossed!
Hope you are all well :) x Alex x

It's a 1st!! ...Year 2 Week 9
Sorry I've been MIA recently guys! Not really feeling my 2nd year tbh. Don't feel properly involved at all!
But I do have some really really good news...I got a 1st in my first assessment of 2nd year which is especially important because it actually counts towards my final grade.
A group of us (4) had to make a poster that analysed an article of our choice and we had to present it. We got 70% which is exactly a 1st, so basically it was very good and worthy of a 1st, but only just.
I am really happy though! I am currently on annual leave but then have a month's worth of uni believe it or not!
Still feeling impatient as ever about qualifying....wish I didn't feel that way though :(
Hope you are all well,
Lots of love,
Alex x
