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!

Weekend Work...Year 2 Week 2

So! I worked a long day yesterday (Saturday) that's 07:00-19:30.

I was on the male side of a ward called AMU think it stood for Assessment Medical Unit. Where patients who are about to breach A&E are sent while waiting for a bed on the ward they need.
So I spent most of the day cleaning and changing beds! Haha

Although a long day like that really exhausts you it was an OK day, the staff were lovely and the work was quite easy.

There was a patient who's foot was completely to one side, so weird! I don't know the cause as he had difficulty explaining it to me. I can't find any pictures to show you, but imagine the bottom of your right foot facing the wall when you are standing. It really was extreme!

Hope you're all well!
Alex xx
