 so it's Wednesday the sun is shining it's gonna be a beautiful day it's already scorching hot and it's only 20 past nine in the morning kind of a bit miffed that I've put a hoodie on but I'm gonna put it in my backpack when I get on the bus so it's gonna be a great day I'm meeting up with my poster group at 11 o'clock and then I've got a couple of lectures all about our leaflet and our rationale so yeah we'll see what today brings hopefully it's gonna be a great day the sun's shining got my tea stairs in the new building today Jojo, you getting up today? little buzzing from last night's expedition it was amazing and it's just fantastic I've got my tea the sun's shining today's gonna be a beautiful day I've got some filming at the uni I think I'm just gonna be showing the new students around in the video so that should be fun I'll see you all later so we're at university we're filming some important information for all the students current and new because our buildings amazing I'm on the way to the QE for some manual handling training it's very early it's half past six I'm waiting for my train the training's half eight till half eleven so enjoy I've arrived I'm 45 minutes early as always and I'm just gonna sit here and wait this is up in the skills suite section no wait until I can go in finish my tea and hopefully I'll be alright so I'm back from a manual handling session so this session was at the QE this is for my bank shifts as a healthcare assistant whilst I'm doing my nursing degree so if you're looking for part-time work if you're already doing part-time work as you'll know we have to refresh every single year manual handling so I have to do manual handling twice a year as once a student nurse and once for my bank shifts it's great because I've genuinely learned something from this session compared to my last session so that's really good and I can take that out into practice with me so it's great it's all learning so I don't mind and I got paid for this one so so now I'm gonna talk you through just the past couple of days at uni because I haven't had the chance to do that yet because I've been so involved with my real bodies expedition and things like that if you haven't watched that video yet go back and have a look at it because it's just amazing you're gonna be wild so University on Thursday we had in the morning we had a really good session on FGM or female genital mutilation and it was just so emotional and I know a little bit anyway because on my bank shifts I work in the sexual health clinics and we do get just a little bit of training there and what to look out for it was a lot more in-depth this one and it was just some of the stories she told us was just heartbreaking and it was a really emotional start to the day and I think everyone was just like drained because it was just emotional and then the other session of the day we had all about care planning again so as part of one of our assignments we have to write a care plan and then we have to write a rationale to why we've written that care plan and the evidence-based practice behind it so the lectures Thursday and Friday were surrounding falls constipation and wound management so the sessions are really good really really useful sessions they're fantastic just they've made it just so easy to do which is a bonus considering we've got quite a lot of workload coming up so the way the sessions have been set out we had our care plan template and we just went through it on what we should be doing and how we should be writing a care plan and it's just a rationale we've got right now that's 1500 words and I think I'll be alright with that one I've got no problems I don't think with regards to that rationale I think that's going to be quite an easy one to write in comparison to the leaflet for some reason even though they're kind of the same thing but just different topics so what have I got coming up let's go through that so I have got my leaflet which I've done my rationale for my leaflet which I've done the first draft I need to go back and tweak and just add a few bits and take away a few bits I haven't done my care plan and rationale yet but I will by probably by next week it shouldn't take that longer I don't think well the care plan at least the rationale might take a little bit longer so the care plan will definitely be done by next week and then we've got a poster presentation which to be fair we've done most of it now we just need to meet up again probably run through it a few times ready for the 11th of July keep telling you this and then we have a maths exam and nursing practice 3 exam which is a nativine physiology we haven't had those lectures yet for those two that's gonna be coming next I think in the upcoming weeks to be honest all I've got left to do is my care plan and rationale practice the poster and then that's that block done because I've pretty much done them bits oh and just re-tweak my rationale from my leaflet as well and then those bits are done and all I've got to do then is revise and that's it so to be fair I feel proper organized I think I've really organized myself this half of the year and just I've got it and started it as it's come in instead of waiting to the last minute because you can't physically wait to the last minute for this sort of work and if anyone's doing that right now I'm panicking for you please get on it start it do your work be organized because otherwise you don't want to leave it to the last minute and then fail that's the last thing so I like to get things done and organized as they come in so then I've got all that time to edit re-tweak them and just change a few things and I find something interesting I can add that back in and just little things you know top tips if you are a first-year student or a future nursing student you will hear all this negativity around second year and the workload and second year is the worst year out of three years I've heard it a lot so I'm just gonna tell you now don't listen to those negative thoughts because second year for me has been amazing so far I've loved every minute of second year and as long as you get organized and keep on top of your work as it's launched you're gonna be amazing you're gonna be fine you're not gonna have any stress any worries and that's it really so I love second year come on for the second year so tomorrow I am off I've got a beautiful day off I'm gonna have a nice lying I don't tend to lie in past 7 a.m. I usually tend to wake up and I panic because I think I should be doing something and tomorrow I'm not planning on doing anything I might just start the care plan and re-tweak I keep saying this word retweak where's this word come from just gonna just go through my rationale from a leaflet and just edit it a little bit and then at least those things are done and out the way and that's it I mean I might just do nothing tomorrow I have done a lot of work and I've got time in the evenings and I've got time in the mornings to sort of do those those little bits so I'm not really that worried about doing any work tomorrow but we'll see I have a habit of not being able to sit still so if I plan to have a day off and do nothing it doesn't tend to happen I usually do some form of work because I'm just yeah I'm strange so I forgot shall we have a look in the garden because I haven't checked on my strawberries for a little while so let's see what's growing onions growing my bush is looking amazing strawberries I've got some little ones here growing but this big one look at this that is massive something's took a chunk out of that I'm not happy and my tomatoes are grown on this one now look at that tomatoes growing
