Caffeine Bomb!

Caffeine Bomb, whilst also the name of a Wildhearts song, is also my new name. I have developed a hefty caffeine addiction. Drinking Red Bull by the litre. Not jittery just very enthusiastic. About everything. No really.

Placement in Ferguslie is going well so far. I've been doing dressings, and injections. The staff are all lovely. I love it so far, admittedly its only been 3 days but if they can all be like this it would be wonderful.

Oral exam is tomorrow. I've chosen care of a COPD patient on oxygen therapy, whilst explaining the rationale behind the care, I've compared and contrasted two patients receiving different levels of treatment.

I'm bricking it. Now this may come as a shock to some of you, but I'm not very good at talking. I can talk aye, but this has to be at a coherent and normal pace for 15 minutes, not stammering and no swearing. I have discovered during my last oral I'm quite nervous now speaking in public. I was like a monkey on crack in January as some of you receiving text messages may attest. The good news is I am free tomorrow afternoon post oral presentation.

Luncheon?
