A positive reason for working?

Yay! I just discovered a positive for working on the wards.
See, I’ve been having trouble keeping my weight down. With exams and assignments all due at the same time, you can hardly blame someone with low self control for not passing up food. Not to mention the fact that I intensely enjoy eating, almost as [...]

I’m not psychic!

Every time I’m on the wards I think of an issue I want to blog about, but as soon as I get home I either forget what I wanted to write about, or I just lose all motivation to blog. When I started this post I originally felt like complaining about how some nurses won’t [...]

Whose Sunday rocked?

Oh. My. God. Going to the beach and rollerblading all in one weekend? That’s like three months worth of social activities in two days!
Going to Manly today was the best thing I’ve done this month, and it’s all thanks to Allie and Abel who organised the whole thing. I have to say that the [...]

Just a little beach

Well that was fun. What was fun? Oh, just our trip to the beach, that’s all. While it mostly consisted of walking in the water, if you look at the photos you can see the new friends we made while we were there.
Anyway I’m pretty stoked about tomorrow, since we’re going to Manly and all.
Sorry [...]

Internetalsocialisticnetworkalitis

I seem to have slipped into that twilight zone that sucks people in on the weekend. You know, that time just after midnight where you’re just flipping through TV shows and reading random blogs that have interesting names. It’s that time of night where you know you should sleep, but you just can’t be bothered [...]

It’s just a long fall

Ok, so I have to admit that clinicals aren’t as bad as I thought they would be.
After six months of placements in community nursing, mental health, aged care and ICU, today was my first day back in a hospital ward. Needless to say, I was terrified inside, because it’s easy to forget how things [...]

Here we go again

My make up clinical starts up again tomorrow! Not that it’s a good thing, at the moment I really, really despise just the thought of going into a hospital to do stuff that I do not like doing, and not get paid for doing it. Sure clinicals are meant to be a learning experience, but [...]

Photo Gallery up!

We had our last exam today! w00t!
Some people had the bright idea of going to the beach afterwards and having lunch there, and I must say that was a great idea. A few of us got fish and chips, Bien brought four chickens and Connie cooked heaps of sausages on the barbeque.
Of course this was [...]

Losing my virginity

Now for all you sicko’s out there that are reading this because you’re expecting some crazy R rated story. Sorry that I sucked you in. If this is the case I guess the title has served its purpose. This is the story of me losing my blog virginity.
Although I am usually a man of less [...]

Earghh

So. Hot. Cannot. Sleep.
Ernie just came into my room and told me that the temperature forecast for tomorrow was 32 degrees Celsius. Earghh.
I took advantage of my non-sleeping-ness to try out the Windows Live Writer modification that Rob over at STUFFLEUFAGUS wrote about. This mod makes it possible to designate tags to a post before [...]
