 so I thought I'd just do a little quick update vlog for you all. I'm now finally past all of my course so if you don't know I was on the foundations of general practice course. This was a supposed to be a nine month course but actually it was only seven months and we had a whole portfolio that I showed you with all our competencies and our assignment and stuff in it. A lot of things that had to be signed off and part of that was the smear testing as well. So some of you might know I've just had my certificate back for my smear test so I've finally been officially signed off to train as a competent nurse and cervical screening. So yeah I've just got applied from a sample taker code now and away I go. So I had my official results back so the foundations of general practice nursing is a level seven course which is what is master's level but this isn't an actual master's it's just like a postgraduate course that I've done but it's level seven masters so I've done well to actually pass but I did do a video at the time that I got my results last week I did a little live video. My face kind of says it all I'm secretly happy but a little bit disappointed at the same time as my grade but I have to remember it's a level seven course it's a lot harder so to get that percentage was actually quite good at the end of the day I'm happy with it and at the end of the day nobody asks for your grades anyway so bear that in mind when you're getting your results back for assignments and exams nobody asks for your grades. It doesn't matter if you qualify with the first it doesn't matter if you get a two one two two three whatever it doesn't matter at the end of the day your blood sweat and tears has gone into nursing and you have come out at the other end and you've qualified that is the big step for you guys so please forget the grades forget the results be happy and proud of how far you've come and I'm telling myself that now as well so here's the little live video coming up for your wall on my results and yeah sorry in advance okay so I'm now in the car because my computer would not load so I'm gonna do it on my phone now I've got two phones I can record it now my instinct is I should have passed because I've done enough to pass I'll be really angry if haven't passed okay dear Claire please find attached your assignment feedback please note that this will be an unratified mark which will be ratified next what does that mean I have no idea we'll Google it after okay loading so where's the results so that is all the feedback thank you for submitting your very interest in portfolio in these difficult circumstances thank you 66 percent so it's a pass it's not the best mark but it's a pass so what did they break it down as part a I got the 68 percent part b 64 percent okay suggestions from improvement continue your development of academic writing style and check in text referencing by BPU referencing style and the occasional grammar issue my grammar is not the best let me tell you okay so suggestions for improvement on the part b continue to work developing on your writing skills I look forward to seeing you progress evidence could be further developed in some areas that's such crap feedback but yeah it's a pass I'm happy so as you saw I wasn't too happy with my grade I was happy to pass though happy to get that course out the way and make room for other things that I'm going to do because I'm a non-stop obviously I've always got something on the go well I wasn't too happy with the feedback and it looks like the other girls on on my group they've got pretty much the exact same feedback as well on their form so it seems like it's a copy and paste job across all the forms which I'm not too happy about so I'm going to email and just get a bit of extra feedback because it'd be nice to know where I can improve and how I can improve if there's something wrong in my writing style what where did they want me to expand in my competencies so that is one thing one chapter closed I'm signed off I'm a fully fledged practice nurse now I've just started my asthma and COPD training I've already done two lessons actually and I've got one more lesson left there's three it's like a three lesson course if that makes sense and that gives you the foundations of asthma and COPD the basics basically so I can do the asthma and COPD reviews to be honest last week I had a meltdown after the last session because everything well the first session sorry because everything was so overwhelming they were giving me all this information and I was thinking this is way over my head like this is ridiculous the amount of information that I'm supposed to embed in my brain is absolutely insane don't know how I'm going to cope and then to follow that the next day I had some patients that were really really hard to manage with the asthma and COPD and then I had some smears that I couldn't get I don't really rough couple of days last week guys and I just wanted to go home curl up cry and forget the day but this is a new week we're on new challenges it's fresh new start and actually this week's been really really good I've had a really good week my asthma and COPD patients have all been amazing and all of my smears have been spot on so I'm ending this week on a high guys this week's been a good week but the week before not so good it was a bit hit and miss but I'm okay I'm on it again this week so some other things I'm doing if you are a student at the Anglian Ruskin universities you may have seen some Instagram stories and things like that to say that you might see me around and that is because next month in June I'm going to be doing some guest teaching I know I'm so excited for this guys I'm so excited so I'm going to be doing some guest teaching all about primary care and case studies around primary care and what we do is primary care nurses so I am dead excited I think this is for the first year students so if you're at Ruskin Ruskin Anglian Ruskin University in the first year and you've got some primary care sessions coming up I'm going to be doing some of them so watch out for me and this is something that I've wanted to do for a couple of years now ever since probably the end of my second year I think I've started thinking about teaching and lecturing and doing that sort of thing so this is where my passion is going to be lying because I love doing my YouTube vlogs I love doing webinars I love doing all these bits I get so passionate about it as some of you might see if you've done my sexual health webinars I love it so I'm going to be looking into doing some teaching as well in the future and some lecturing obviously I'm not going to quit my job I love practice nursing I'm going to keep up my skills come on but ideally I would like to do a bit of both and yeah do some lecturing and teaching so fingers crossed guys if your uni wants me at your uni get in touch I will come along and teach you whatever you want uh within reason that I know um but yeah I'm really really excited for it I can't wait and I'm hoping that these sessions are going to go down a tree and you're going to learn something from me fingers crossed but yeah other than that I've finished my course I'm still doing my practice nursing and still loving life I've got some extra shifts with the uni I'm doing a lot for their gpnsnn I'm still part of the student nurse project I'm doing 101 different things around work I'm tired I need a week off I need

these batteries because I'm starting to feel a little bit tired so yeah um but yeah I'm very busy and I'm loving life I'm still passionate about nursing and loving life so yeah that is my update for
