About Me

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!

Time Flies...Year 2 Week 45

It's now the 3rd week of my community placement!

My mentor let me go home at 13:00 today couldn't believe my luck! Been feeling so so tired recently, went to the gym on Monday and went for a quick run on Tuesday which is good but this weather is making me want to hibernate! I can't wait for the sun to come out and the air to get warmer so I can go for runs by the reservoir :):)

Placement is going well, doing more dressings now. I just find myself doing silly things when I'm put under pressure when in reality I do know the answer or how to do something properly.

I was with the community midwife yesterday and had another antenatal clinic but also went on a couple of visits. Was lovely to feel a pregnant belly and the baby move! I can't wait to do my midwifery training.

And guys, I'm almost certain I failed my OSCE. I have never felt like this about an assessment before but I genuinely think I have :( trying to prepare myself for the worst. Booooo.

Anyway, I hope you are all well! There are so many readers but where are you all coming from??

Love,
 xx Alex xx

  1. Hi Alex. I found your blog not long ago and your YouTube channel. I really like it! I was supposed to start uni last September but I couldn't because my baby was just one month old so I had to postpone it for the coming September. I'm really excited about it. And now I just find myself searching for nursing related stuff, but there aren't many uk based student nurses you tubers/bloggers
