Yes, all in all, a great day yesterday, really enjoyed it. It was great to do the mental health care plan and really challenge myself, something that I haven't done before, sort of amazing, and I love challenges, so that was great. And then today, today's like my favourite day, I think, is it? I don't know, but today was an amazing day, so I got to placement nice and early, as normal, and my mental comes in, and then she disappeared for a minute, and then she'd come back and she was like, I've got a midwife for you, and I was like, what? So do you want to go sit with the midwife? The midwife's in today, she's here until the afternoon, she's got a morning clinic, do you want to go sit with her and see what the midwife's doing? I think, yes, please, I'd love to do this. So that just made my day. I went and sat with the midwife. We saw a lot of pregnant ladies, obviously. The majority of them, apart from one, were 34 weeks plus, so they had these beautiful bellies, and they're beautiful babies inside, and we had to just do a urine check, a blood pressure check. We did an abdo examination, so I learnt how to do that today. As a student nurse, we can't obviously assess that and do that, but the patient was happy for me to have a feel and just get a general feel of what a pregnant stomach feels like, so that was really good. To start with, I couldn't feel anything. I was like, oh, I'm doing it wrong. I don't know what I'm doing, but the nurse just pointed me in the right direction and put my hands in the right place and things, because I was just there like, I don't know. I've never dealt with pregnant ladies before. I'm really sorry to anyone that's pregnant watching this. I didn't know what to do, but I soon learnt, and it was fantastic. Obviously, with the permission of the patient again, and the nurse there watching me and supervising me, and I watched the nurse do it first, and then I had to go, so I had to go scanning for the heartbeat and learning the difference between the actual baby's heartbeat and the sound of the placenta, which baffled me. I was there like, what? What is this magic? So there's two different sounds. One is more of a... and that's the placenta, and then mum was more of a... like a tick-tock, tick-tock, like a really fast tick-tock, like a baby's heartbeat is so fast. Why are they so fast? Like 130 beats per minute or something? I think she said it was 130 beats per minute and I was like, why? How is it even going that fast? It's tiny. It's like this big. Oh my God. So that was amazing to see, and it was amazing to hear the baby's heartbeat. It just fell in love. And I think it's something that I might look into doing at the end of my adult nursing, adding a dual qualification of midwifery, because I think that would be amazing, especially... I don't know, I need to look into this and ask advice for people, but I think as a GP nurse being dual qualified, so could I do that? Could I be a general practice nurse that is also a midwife, and I could see everybody? That would be amazing. That would be great. That is life goals here. Don't burst my bubble anybody. Just pretend that it's going to happen. It's going to be amazing. I can do this. I ended the day with my mentor. We did some ECGs. I love doing the ECGs as well and setting them all up. I'm really good at setting them all up on the chest area now and feeling how many ribs down. You have to go four-for-ribbing, because to start with I was really struggling on that, and I was like, I can't even feel the ribs, but now I've had some lucky patients, I think. I've had good patients that I could feel the ribs, so I've managed to do that and I've just improved, I think, with little things like that, which is amazing. My mentor's not in tomorrow, so I'm with the other nurse. I'm doing the asthma and COPD clinic. Thursday, I think it's my last day, Thursday. Well, I will be with my mentor, because my mentor doesn't work Friday, so it's going to be a sad day. I've got, oh, shall I show you what I've got? Let me show you what I've got, my mentor, and the rest of the clinic. So, I've got this. I made a hamper. Look how unhealthy it is. I'm giving nurses a really unhealthy hamper, but I made this myself. I bought the basket and the making set off eBay separately. I've put in some healthy meat to game bars as a healthy snack option. I've got a box of chocolate fingers. I've got two multi-pack of crisps. I've got some round treats for pastels. I've got a box of celebrations, a box of jaffa cakes, because they've got a really nice biscuit jar at work, so I want to fill up that biscuits. So, I've got that for them. I've wrote them a card, a card in there. I'm not looking forward to my last day, but at the same time, it's nice that it... No, I can't even say that it's nice to come to an end, because it's not. I'm going to be gutted, but I've got two days left making the most of it. I'll see you tomorrow. So, today is Wednesday. I've finished my shift for the day. It was my last day with my buddy mentor. Emotional, of course it's emotional. I've got a number though, so I'm going to keep in touch with her, which is amazing. It's really good to form friendships, so it's lovely that I've got a number and I can keep in touch and we can talk all about her caravan that she bought, so I'm really excited for that. Today, I've had some asthma patients, COPD patients. We've had some injections to do. We've had actually a variety today. It hasn't just been asthma and COPD. Usually, Wednesday, my buddy mentor is designed for asthma and COPD, but she gets in a few other patients as well, so it's nice to see that she does other things as well as her asthma and COPD. It's just been amazing and I've got her a little present. What did I get her? I've got some little candles to go in her caravan, so she's chuffed with that and a box of paracetamol, because she's always got a headache. Every week, she's always saying, Claire, you've got some paracetamol, you've got some ibuprofen. I've got a bang in her day and I'm like, you need to keep yourself hydrated, drink more. For a little comedy thing, I threw a box of paracetamol in there for her. I've had a fabulous day. I had finished placement and I went to go to the Haar seminar, but it wasn't on, so I haven't had a Haar seminar today, so I can't vlog about that this week. When that's rescheduled, I can do a vlog on that one. And tomorrow's my last day. It's my last day of my mentor. I've got her a present. I'll show you what I've got her. So I've got this glass. I don't know if you can see that. I've got a 99% chance of wine and it's got a little gold glitter on the bottom, so she doesn't have to have wine in that. She doesn't have anything in that. She can have orange juice in the morning if she wants to do, pretend it's wine. But I've got a nice glass. I don't know what to get. People think she'll like that. And it's something that she can have at the weekend when she's got some time off because she works hard and she deserves a little glass of wine at the weekend. So I've got her that. And I've also, the one that has had a look at my online blogs. I do online blogs. I'll put the link below. But I've been blogging all about my GP placement. How amazing it's been. And I decided that I was going to print off my blogs for my mentor to read so she can actually see what an amazing time I've had with her. And what I've learnt from the general practice as well because I kept it a secret that I did blogs and blogs and everything. She has no idea. So I think it's going to be a little bit of a surprise. I thought I'd leave it as a surprise for her at the end. So I've printed all those off. I've stapled them. I've put them in a little poly pocket. And I think that's nice. Do you? Does anyone else? Here's a question. What do people get? They're mentors. If you're a student nurse, you've been on placement, do you get your mentor's presence? Because it must be nice to get something nice. So this is for my mentor. My online blogs. She likes it. We'll see. I'll let you all know tomorrow what's happened. And yeah, it's going to be original. So today is Saturday. I've finished my placement. It's all done and dusted. And I'm going to tell you all about what my last day was like. So I wasn't looking forward to this day. I haven't been looking forward to this day, as you know, for a couple of weeks now. And I arrived early. My mentor come in. We saw patients until quarter past 11. We had a variety of patients. A really good mixture of injections, hypertension patient, diabetes, diabetic foot check. Had a few patients actually that either drink alcohol excessively, or they eat junk food. They just don't want to exercise. Or smoke. People, we've had patients as well that smoke and it's literally killing them. And you're there saying, this is literally killing you. And they're like, doesn't matter. I've done it all my life. I'm not going to stop now. How do you deal with these patients? Give me some advice people. How do you deal with patients that literally, they don't want the help. They don't want the advice. They're going to keep on living as unhealthy as they do, knowing it's literally killing them. It's just how do you manage these patients? Thing is, as long as you advise the patient should give them all of the information, documenting that they've declined any help, what more can we do? They've got the information if they need to be referred to all these services to stop smoking, alcohol, exercise, healthy eating. There's a diabetes programme that they can be referred to, things like that. But if they don't want the help, what can you do? Incredible. I've had a really incredible day. We saw all these wonderful patients and I've just had a fabulous time. So then all of our patients left, but we finished at 12 and my mentor said, OK, let's get your book. Let's sign you off all this and it's a nervous moment. I found out during this placement, actually you would think my time management is very good and very organised and punctual. I'm always on time for everything if I've got real OCDs with being early. So you'd think my time management is good and I always thought that my time management was impeccable to the point where with the hard seminar workshops, I didn't select to go on the time management workshop because I thought I don't really need time management because my time management is very good. But you know what? On this placement, I didn't think about time management with patients and the fact that I've only got 20 minute slots. I've been very privileged to have in my own clinics 20 minute slots per patient and you have to keep to those 20 minute slots. And sometimes you get patients that come in and they want to talk about life and the holidays and they might be really upset. So you have to support that patient and sometimes you run over. Quite a lot of the time I ran over that 20 minutes with my patient. So I need to improve on my time management. Who'd have thought? So there's something that's come from this placement that I've learnt about myself that needs improving. So it's been amazing and I think that's, I don't even know it's a negative thing to find out actually I need time management. But I think it's amazing because that's something I never thought I needed and actually I've learnt from this placement. I think that's just incredible. So I've learnt something from this placement and I'm probably going to work, go and book on to the time management workshop now. Thanks Heart Dream, I'm coming to you guys. Anyway, back to where we started. So my mentor got my book, we're going to get signed off. I'm panicking, I'm nervous, I'm sweating, I'm standing around really awkwardly. My mentor was really nervous to the point where she said, Claire, you need to go and make me a cup of tea because you're making me nervous. When I stood in there, I made her a cup of tea and then I stood there for about five minutes. I did some tweets, I put a tweet out saying I had gone to make a cup of tea for my mentor because I'm making her nervous. Just gave her a bit of space, gave her time to write. It's something I never thought about. Mentors must get nervous because it must be hard for a mentor to sign a nurse off and to write all these things and give feedback for someone that's just about to read what you're writing about them. It must, just even thinking about it, I think I would be nervous too. So it's equally as nerve-racking for mentors in general as well as students. It was quite a funny moment and then I went back into the room and I was like, are you ready for me? And then we sat down, we went through my book, it was all signed off, I passed. Yay, didn't fail. So that was a bonus. She wrote some really nice feedback. She gave me a card and I didn't open my card because I thought if I open this card here in practice I'm going to cry. So I didn't open my card until the next day even. I got home, I was really emotional. Yesterday, the day after, so Friday, I was so emotional. I think everything had just built up and I wanted to cry for the whole day and I had places to go. So I had to go into uni, had a couple of things I had to do at uni, handed in my placement book. I just, on the way home, I was just gutted and I could feel myself getting teary and I was like, just hold it in, hold it in, you're on a bus. You don't need to do this in public. So I got home without crying and as soon as I opened the door I was like, I just cried. I can't believe it's over. It's making me emotional. I've just had the most amazing time on placement and I just, I'm gutted. Absolutely gutted to finish. I can't do this anymore, God. I'm a wreck. What have you done to me, General Practise Nursing? Students, you're going to have an amazing experience if you're going to General Practise for Nursing. You are going to learn so, so much. You have no idea how much you're going to learn from General Practise. I mean, I knew it was going to be a great area which is why it was my first choice. It's why I wanted to go there in the first place but I didn't know quite how much I would be doing in General Practise and how amazing it would be. It's definitely where I'm going to be when I qualify. I can't wait to qualify and go back and work in General Practise. My mentor loved her present and she really, really loved my blog. She was so shocked. She didn't have any clue because I didn't tell her. She didn't have any clue I'd written blogs and she was like, Clare, this is amazing. How could you not tell me? She was really shocked. She even said I'm really shocked by this. I said, but do you know what? I never told you because I didn't want you to change the way you were or anything and I wanted it to be a genuine blog and I wanted to print it out and show you because I want you to see that actually I've had an amazing time and you've taught me so, so much in General Practise and I know that people can just say it and then leave and they'd never come back but I genuinely mean everything I tell you. I'm having an amazing time and it's just been incredible. So, she was shocked, so that's nice. I got the hamper for everyone and they were all shocked. So that's it. I left on a happy note, a positive note but sad to be leaving General Practise. It's been an amazing time and I've just absolutely loved it. Here I am in the submission room, ready to submit my placement documents. Ready to say that I've passed my placement. How exciting. I think it's me the way it gets for submission.
