Only 6 shifts left until (mouthing it, because saying it out loud is overwhelming) the end of second year.
SIX SHIFTS OF PLACEMENT. That is a daunting prospect. I've just completed my 3rd year options and now I have everything crossed I get my choices.
My sign off choice is A&E, from day one I have wanted to work in ED and eventually become an ENP. I feel quite drawn to the fast pace, the challenging environment and the learning. I imagine ED to be a place where you need to know a lot about a lot, and I thrive on developing skills and knowledge.
My spoke choices are a minor injuries unit - (I'm hoping I get this despite it's similarity to A&E due to the environment being predominantly nurse-led), and a placement with the research team.
I'm also hoping to potentially squeeze in some homeless nursing, which I think would be a vast and invaluable learning experience, working with extremely vulnerable individuals who are in very compromised situations and environments and battling physical symptoms but also mental health issues such as dependency.
Thought's on elective and currently it has to be a London ED department.
1) because I want to move back to London.
2) the environment would be a prime learning opportunity.
I feel utterly prepared in thinking about third year, and utterly unprepared in doing it. I'm hoping the 3 months until I start third year will encourage a transformation into a confident and able third student nurse...
