5 months in!

I know I've left it waaaay longer than I promised, but everything has been so full on that I've only just got to grips with it. I am absolutely loving being a student nurse. Even though I'm part way through a 4,000 word assignment and revising for two exams. I am definitely exactly where I want to be. I'll be coming back more often and updating everyone now that I've found my feet!

I've been given my first placement which starts next month and it's a community access team placement. I'm really looking forward to my first experience out in practice putting everything I've learned over the past few months to work. I feel so lucky because my placement is right near where I live and it's my hub placement - the one I go back to at the end of my 3 years in uni - so I've been really fortunate there.

I've met so many amazing people at university already some of which I hope are friends for life, having people round you that you get along with really does help in more ways than you would imagine. Time is flying, and I'm beginning to understand what the lecturers meant at the beginning when they told us that we would stop one day and look back and think, wow, time really does fly. It does, and I know I keep saying it but I am absolutely loving every second. I may moan about my assignment and revision, but I honestly enjoy it really. I feel like I've finally found the thing I want to be doing in my life, yes I don't always want to be bogged down with assignments and revision but I'm talking about the career I'm going into. It's definitely for me, a fact I hope won't change over the next 3 years!

I've seriously neglected reading everyone's blog posts too so that's what I'm going to do now while I have a bit of spare time, catch up with what has been going on. I really will be back soon ... I mean it this time!
