Hi all,
found this board and thought it looked okay.
I come from the land down under and am in my last year of uni I (yey with luck).
And am on placement at the moment in a paediatric ward and it is so different to any other prac i've ever had with adults there are less patients in the ward and less work to do (where i am). It is fun.
I can't believe i am about to finish uni and be thrown out on my own i have no idea how 2hrs aweek learning and practicing clinical settings at uni and a few weeks a semester have prepared me at all for the next year - i'm a great bedmaker and showerer thanx to work but i feel completely inadequate and incompetent at what we are taught to do on prac if we are even given the opportunity by some of the staff.
Anyway that's all I have to say and goodluck to all nursing students cause it really is hard there's sooo much homework and no time for a social life with all those of us who work at nursing homes to earn the money to pay off Uni which really is a pathetic amount of money (don't know what it's like in the US) but i earn $11.72 an hour for a job i trained for and could be earning $17 packing shelves or being a checkout chik- but then where would learn to find patience and time management and acceptance of the hurtful things demented people say.
:-) bye all Krissy
