 Hi everyone and welcome back to another vlog. I just wanted to do a little update video because I can't remember the last time I updated anyone since before Christmas. I feel like I've just been boasting about holiday and stuff like that so I just wanted to do a little quick catch-up video where I'm at, what's happening and all that jazz. So as you know I was offered the community nursing post which I am still waiting to start. Today is the 16th of January Thursday 2020. I know where's the year gone. So yeah I'm still waiting to start. It's supposed to start on the 6th of January but everything has been put and hold and put back to the end of the month so we'll see. So I've literally as some of you may know from Instagram and social media I've been rock painting and keeping my time filled with random little things. So what else? I'm waiting for my NMC pin, still waiting for my pin guys I know. Yesterday we had our overall classification which some of you have already seen on social media I've literally shared it everywhere. I could because I'm so proud of my achievements. So we've got our classification, if you don't know I've got a first. I've got a first. So we've got our classification. So now once now the uni has authorised everything and classified everything you have to wait for your NMC pin. The NMC will contact you via email. They'll send you an email link to apply for your pin registration. So that's literally what I'm waiting for. I've heard it can take up to a week after uni's authorised everything. So I'm just literally waiting. I'm checking emails every 30 minutes. I've become obsessed with checking and checking and checking because all I want is to register with the NMC. I can't wait. Along with that I have some exciting news for you which I can't share in this vlog. I know I'm going to be that person. I'm so sorry. Some of you already know this but I can't share it until I'm 100% certain and it's everything's been done and dusted. It kills me not being able to share stuff. I'm so sorry but at least it shows that I can keep confidentiality and I can keep secrets and all that jazz but just to let you know something exciting is about to happen. Two exciting things actually not just one but something happened today literally today. I had an email from somebody and this trust me this is exciting guys. The second bit of news is even just oh I can't say it. It inboxed me and I'll let you know but yeah there's really exciting things happening in my future in the pipeline. Completely everything is just going to be amazing trust me. The future is looking bright for 2020. So apart from all of that I've been doing some vlogging, doing the vlogging and I've been doing some book reviews. I've helped the uni out as well with a few things. I don't know if I'm allowed to talk about it so I won't go into it just in case but yeah so that's been really really good to still be in touch with Birmingham City University. It's really really nice. Also I got a new badge. Look at this little beauty. This was from the NMC. This was designed by Karen Mojica or Mojica. I don't know how to say your name I'm really sorry if she's watching this. Oh god that's really embarrassing I'm so sorry but this is the name. I'm guessing the J is like a Y. I don't know why. Karen Mojica Mojica. Anyway she designed this amazing badge for the NMC. Yes I just love it I know I'm so excited. So to get this badge NMC put out a tweet. I don't know if they shared it across all media platforms I have no idea but on Twitter they put out a tweet with an application form for you to be in with a chance of winning a little badge. So I applied of course and then I don't think I got the first lot but then they put out another tweet for another lot and I got that lot so I'm so chuffed that I managed to get a badge. I'm so proud. I'm going to be wearing this with pride when I finally start my new job. So yeah it's just beautiful it's really really nice. Thing is it doesn't do it justice when you show it like this but when you see it it's really really stunning. I really love it and I think it's just a lovely way as well to celebrate a century of caring. Another little thing I need to say I did a review for the Stemoscope and I still have it in my hand which means I have not sent it to my friend Emma to review because I'm a bad person and a bad friend. Sorry Emma. But as some of you know and some of you have been messaging me and asking me where's Emma's videos so Emma has her own YouTube channel I'll put the links below. She was did really really well on YouTube. She was doing gaming vlogs like live streaming her gaming and it was really funny hilarious she's absolutely a pleasure to watch trust me and I promised I would send this to her to review during horror games because she plays a lot of horror games lately and I thought that'd be really interesting for her to try out. One I haven't sent it but two she's setting up a new look and a new channel so she's erased I think all of her previous videos and she's getting ready to set up a brand new fresh look so I'm waiting for her to do that and then she will start posting come on Emma I do need to send her this to try out and do the horror game stuff so watch out for that so yeah I haven't gotten too much to update you but this is literally all I've been doing is just waiting and just little things here and there whilst I've been doing nothing so if any of you need any help with anything if you're struggling if I can advise you in any way if you've got any ideas what I can do with my life in this time that I'm off please inbox me and let me know I will always reply if I'm not busy um if I am busy even I will reply later on but I will always reply to you if you inbox me a massive thank you as well for following my journey from the start some of you thank you so much it really means a lot to me like a genuinely genuinely means a lot to me that I get messages from you and Twitter my Facebook my Instagram went crazy when I posted my classification and I got so many messages I just wanted to say a massive massive thank you because do you know what some people say that I inspire them and I motivate them stuff like this but you inspire me you keep me going like seeing your results seeing you doing so well seeing your failures as well but overcoming that and saying do you know what I've got this I'm gonna do this it's so motivated and genuinely genuinely motivates me and inspires me you're just all absolutely amazing and just a massive thank you thank you so so much so the next time I'm going to see you is hopefully when I've got some news and fingers crossed it'll be next week I should have some news next week because whatever's happening is going to happen on Tuesday it's also next week survival smear test week just sorry I knew I said I was going to end this vlog here next week is survival smear week um reason awareness for cancer um survival cancer and I booked my smear in for the 22nd I will be vlogging about it and sharing it and hopefully inspiring you to go for your smear tests hopefully but um that's a different vlog but that's something else that's gonna come as well but hopefully next week I'm going to have some exciting news for you I can share it fingers crossed it's gonna be exciting it's gonna be amazing and yeah you'll see you'll see when it happens you'll see you'll understand more next week anyway bye everyone
