 I'm sorry it's been crazy busy and I haven't been able to vlog about my jobs and things like that so it's been yeah but some of you will be glad to know because I know some of you love me as a GP nurse for some reason I'm going back to GP and now I've been out of GP I've been out of GP for two years but I've kept up with all my skills for GP so things like observations, bloods, examinations, cervical swabs things like that I've still been doing so I've still managed to maintain those skills thankfully and I've just done my cervical screening update and things like that so yeah but the reason why I'm vlogging today is I start on Monday today is Wednesday I've just been into my new clinic and picked up my uniform so I thought let's try it on and show you take you on my journey like before let's get excited about this are you ready don't judge my attire. Here we go. Nurse Claire is activated. It's a bit spacious but it's okay I like a spacious uniform it's not a fashion show I keep telling people this it's not a fashion show. Do you realise it? It's not a fashion show I'd rather be comfortable at work and be able to move in my uniform above anything else you know I don't want something that's skinny fit and make him a figure look good. I've got a figure I'm straight up and down so this is just great. So yeah so excited to start again on Monday but yeah let's see how the next week goes. So I am a couple of weeks in I haven't managed to vlog at all in the last couple of weeks it's been so busy but I have had the best two weeks at my new GP surgery and it just shows how it should be done and it's not getting done like this out there and this is why people go into GP worry get anxiety panic and leave and so for my two weeks that I've just had I've had a whole induction plan given to me I can't show you the forms and things because it's got obviously personal information on and things like that but I can talk you through it. So yeah I was given two different packs one from the manager of one from the nurse and the management one was all about the clinics all about the surgery contact information for all the doctors the nurses what rooms people are usually in where to find equipment fire safety everything I need to know in this pack is there so if I think to myself oh I don't know who does this in the pack it's there I've got it and then on the nurses side one is a whole nurse inside of packs so things like where's the resource stuff kept where's the dressings kept where's I don't know future removal things kept ECGs kept anything that I need to know where things are kept because that's the worst thing when you start somewhere new you're like I don't know where anything is it's all in this book and also something that was amazing that I thought there's a breakdown sheet of things like different conditions have different blood tests different medications like methotrexate for example have different blood tests and they've put a little list of what bloods need to be done for what type of medication amazing I don't need to sit there scrolling through the whole of the patient's notes of the patient's bloods to try and work out what sort of bloods that they need I've got it I've got the list I mean I have got my own little crib cards anyway from when I was a previous GP nurse but someone who's maybe new to GP something like that that would be amazing and to have and this this whole pack was just incredible I thought it was amazing and happy happy days from me yeah so for my two weeks I've been shadowing everybody and so I've been going with the phlebotomist team the HCA's I've gone with the paramedic that works there to see what she does the diabetic specialist nurse I've gone with the different nurses who work there just to see how everybody works together as a team and what everyone does and things like that and obviously to get used to people as well so yeah so it's been really really nice to do that and then yesterday I had my very first clinic solo and it went okay I felt way better than I have in any other clinic before and where I just felt settled the clinic I've said this to the team I said the clinic here makes me feel very very much like the clinic I worked at in Portsmouth which was the best clinic ever with the nicest team really supportive and it's the same process like they were so supportive always checking in on you things like that and it's the same vibe that I get from this clinic and that's what you need from a GP surgery I'm gonna do a completely separate video because I don't want this video to be too long for you all and we're gonna do a completely separate video on how to spot the good from the bad I'm sorry GPs I'm gonna give you out all of your give away all of your bad practices but yeah I've worked in a really bad GP before where I wasn't supported didn't get the right things in place felt anxious daily didn't feel safe so I want to make sure that when you're looking for a role the things to look for and the things that I've tried and tested and things like with this surgery in particular and there's certain things that I looked for in particular for this role and it's gone in my favor and it's worked out well so I want to give you as much tips and advice how to find a really good GP and yeah things like that but I just wanted wanted to update you and just say my first two weeks have been amazing my first clinic yesterday was amazing I had a whole combination of asthma clinics diabetic clinics cardiac clinics that they're all just reviews that we do and ECGs bloods I had a height and weight for a mental health sort of referral that was going on what else have I done dressings vaccinations B12s smear test have loads of smear test yesterday I love doing the smear test because it's just that satisfying thing that you're doing good and preventing potential cancer for the future so I love doing the smear tests yeah so I've had a whole range of HRT that's something new to me actually so I've never really done HRT reviews before but they're a little bit like the contraception checks and pill checks and things like that that we do so yeah it was okay but I had a really varied day yesterday I'm in again today I'm not in until half 12 till half five today so it's my short day today so about the morning so what I'll do a little update let you all know how it's going and things like that but yeah I'm gonna do a separate video on what to look out for in GP how to apply for GP I have got some videos previously but I've not done anything specifically on the things to specifically look for to find a good quality supportive clinic which I'm gonna do next so watch out for that video if you've got any other questions if you've got anything you want me to discuss or talk about within GP let me know in the comments below and I will get that done for you but for now goodbye I'm super happy I'm back in GP land and yeah my life is just perfect right now I'm sorry but yeah have a good day everyone have a good weekend and I shall see you next time
