Today was my last day, I cant believe I was there for a month. I think that must have been the fastest month of my life. I know I was moaning a bit a while back about how I was not really enjoying it, but I have to say that today I was quite sad to leave and when I think about it, I did enjoy myself. Sure there were a few times when I was over the whole thing but overall I learnt heaps, gained confidence in my clinical skills and now feel much more confident in my ability to become a future RN. The biggest thing I learnt in the last month was that I really love working with children, especially babies. They even said in my evaluation that I show great ability with children. This has strengthened my thoughts in specialising in pediatrics when I graduate. I have applied for clinical at the special care baby unit next semester and fingers crossed I get it, this is the one place that I have always wanted to go but heaps of people are asking to go there as well. I just pray that I get picked.
So anyway next week I have my final exams and that's me for about 10 weeks. What am I going to do with myself? I have decided that I want to make a start and get through a big assignment that we do next semester. I have got all the info for it , so know what I need to do. So hopefully I stick to that idea, as that is my goal for the summer holidays.

YOu get to choose where you go for clinicals? I need to move to NZ! Good luck on your finals...we still have until December 16th foro urs. ugh
In year two we have been able to choose.In saying that though I did not get any of my 3 choices for the mental health placement but we are able to swap with other students so I did that. I have chosen Special care baby unit or the childrens ward, but the lady that does it will pull names out of a hat, as these are popular choices for the childbearing paper I am doing next year. I wish I was in the USA your program sounds so much better then ours.
