Placement!

I've had 2 good weeks at placement consecutively and i can't even believe it myself. Even though i work at the 3rd busiest Accident and emergency department in the UK, i am still happy, even though i come back home proper knackered, i still feel happy and eager to go the next day. I know its not normal cos i know a few of my colleagues have horrible experiences and horror stories to tell but its only God's mercies and favour that has kept me this far and i cant stop thanking Him.

I got the best report on my assessment last week from a radiographer that everyone knows is weird, people avoid her like plague and she knows it herself and even says it but she wrote me the best report ever on my assessment form and i was well impressed and pleased knowing it can only be God's favour.

Even though its been busy this week cos i had to travel outside town for placement and i was dreading working with the radiographer there cos i didn't know what her mood will be like even though i have prayed ( Oh ye of little faith). Well i got there on Monday and she wasn't there and wasn't due to be there till Thursday which was my last day so i only had one day with her, how cool is that! I was so happy and she was so cool and asked to do my assessment form again, but someone else did it already. I cant tell u how happy i am. Its just been a great week again.

Having said all that, i am proper tired, as in i'm tired. My legs hurts, my shoulders are painful from moving the xray tubes. Apparently its just my shoulders that hurt, my other colleagues are fine, so i must be doing something wrong. I need a serious full body massage.

Anyways i cant wait for this to be over and i can go home for summer break. At least see my family members again. I don't see any point in this last 7 weeks of placement after exams cos i just dont think its necessary, its just my opinion though. I know you get to practise more but having 1st, 2nd and 3rd years at the same time in placement, i am not sure that is good. There is loads of us there and not like there are more rooms, and its not like there are different stuffs that will present themselves that we havent seen before. They just like keeping us there and making us work without paying us.......Well what can we do, cant complain cos i aint paying for it, its free so be quiet girl!

I'm chilling tonight cos i am not going anywhere till later tomorrow, how cool is that, oh i better turn my alarm off cos i dont want it disturbing me in the morning.

Na nite people, i'm going to eat before i retire to bed.
