So I have just finished my first week of my third year. I honestly never thought I would get this far. 2 years ago I started my journey as a student nurse and it's very surreal that I am a third year student nurse. It has gone so incredibly quick and I know this last year will go quickly and I'll be writing my goodbye student living blog post!
After already having my first third year breakdown I know this year is going to be tough. On top of being away from home, which I always hate, working and trying to keep up with all the work I am trying to stay positive. But it's all so overwhelming.
I'm also mega excited about my placements this year. In my first year I felt very unlucky with my placements in the fact that it was an anti-climax into the nursing world, and my mentor was awful. But I'm glad I didn't give up, I definitely came close a few times. Now I am only 10 months away from being put on the register, which is a very scary thought. But, I'm looking forward to A&E, district nursing and an acute ward. I would also like to add here that not only have I got A&E as a placement but I also had ITU last year, which I'm incredibly lucky to have as I know a lot of student nurses who never get either. I've definitely got a tough and a brilliant year ahead of me. Now I've just got to keep my head down, focus and try to pass.
