 Morning everyone! So today's my first shift of the week. It's Wednesday, it's not it's Tuesday, not Wednesday, it's Tuesday. I have my Weeter Bigs. I am ready for the day. I'm absolutely not good. Hopefully it's going to be a great day but I'll let you know later how it goes. I'm home! So that's it, I'm home. I've had pizza and wedges for my dinner. I think I live on pizza lately. I don't know why. I need to find something else that's quick and easy to cook and stir-fry. Stir-fry and pizza is all I've been living on the past week. So I've had my pizza, I've had my wedges, I'm home, I'm chilling, I'm relaxed. I've got my hoodie on because it's cold outside. I've got my PJs on. I'm off tomorrow. So tomorrow we've got a Halloween bake sale which I might do a little vlog. Shall I? If I've done a vlog I will post this video and I'll put the link to the video in. If I haven't posted this into the video then I haven't done it. So yeah. So we've got a charity bake sale tomorrow which we're raising money for the Cavill Trust. The same charity that we were doing for the Snowden Challenge is all part of this as well. So we need I think £350 is all we've got left to raise and then it's done and I think we've got literally tomorrow to raise that. Are we gonna put £350 on cakes? Probably not. I hope so but probably not. So yeah, so I'm home, I'm chilled and what have I got to say about today? Actually not much, I know. Haven't got much to say today. Today was a pretty relaxed day. I took a patient to their appointment today at a different hospital and then I came back. I did the personal care bits. I did all the assessment charts and everything. I did the food rounds. I did all the normal things that I've done. I haven't done anything extra today nothing out of the ordinary. Just been a regular shift. There was enough staff so we weren't short staffed and it ran smoothly. Everyone was sort of didn't know what to do with themselves because there was that period between about three and five where everyone's just like okay what do we do now? What is there to do? So I tend to just go around and talk to my patients and make sure they're all all right. Get to know them. That's what I usually do if I've got nothing to do and everything's been done. I literally just go around and talk to my patients. Get to know them. Find out their likes, dislikes, family life, anything extra I can find out about them and that's it. But yeah but that's all I've really got to say about today. It's been a good day. Haven't got much to update you so I'm going to have to start thinking of new vlogs to do. Actually I have got a vlog that's coming up. I'm going to do a vlog about putting on stockings, the hospital stockings that you have to do because they are horrendous to get on but there is a technique to doing it and if you use a bag or a plastic bag and put that over the foot and then the stocking over the top I find that really works so I'm just trying to find a victim to do that with me. But yeah that's it for now. I'm back on placement on Thursday so I'll let you know how Thursday goes and see you then. So yeah I'm exhausted. We've had a busy lips from a wound which is all really great experience and we also had a patient who went into hypoglycemic shock a little bit. He went down, his blood sugar levels went down to four and we've always been told four is the floor so we had to give him some glucose tablets, some glucose gel and they did come up again so they came up to about I think there were nine something by the time we'd left so there was a lot of telltale signs that you could just see so that was really interesting to see. It was great to put that knowledge that we've learned from our diabetes lectures into actual practice and seeing it in real life happen so that was really good. I always love when we've learned something at university and then we go out into practice and then we witness it. It makes my day when that happens. I absolutely love it. I love putting the knowledge into practice and that's why I do believe that we need a degree because we need that knowledge behind us so that we can understand the body and the way it's working and what's happening to give the best care possible for our patients. Just my opinion. But I really loved that. It wasn't very good for the patient but it was great for my learning and it was just a really good experience I found. So now I'm going to just chill out because I'm absolutely knackered. I'm back in on Sunday. I've got tomorrow and Saturday off. Tomorrow I'm going to dress shopping because we have our award ceremony next week. Oh no. So I don't actually think I've told you this actually. So as part of the Haas scheme at the university the Haas scheme actually won the Kate award which is really really big, really exciting and a few of us have been selected to go up to Edinburgh, have a night in Edinburgh and go to the award ceremony. So I need a dress. I need a fancy dress for next Wednesday because that's when it is and it's going to be amazing. I'm really excited for it. I don't know how I'm going to have my head and how I'm going to have my makeup. I need to find a dress. It's next week and I'm panicking but it's going to be good. Can't wait. I'll do a little vlog as well for yours. You can see what goes on at these award things. Hopefully it's going to be amazing. You'll get to meet everyone as well and yeah. So that's it for this week. I'm back on placement on Sunday but because I can't fit it into the video and post it in time you've just got two days this week. There's not really much I can say but do you know what? I've got three weeks left. I've got three weeks left and that's me done. Not that I'm counting down or anything but I've got three weeks left guys. Three weeks. So yeah. I'll see you all later.
