This week, I was on palliative care - a bit weird to put it in the middle of a ten week surgical block! Emotionally, it was a rollercoaster of a week and on Friday night, I slept for nine hours (I usually get between 6 and 7.5) which kind of says it all. It was nice to be able to have a lie in this weekend too - I now go onto five weeks of general surgery, rotating through various specialties, and I have to be in at 8am most days so goodbye sleep...
It was also nice to see Scotland win against Italy yesterday in the Six Nations :)
How has your week been?
Wow it's amazing they let you go in at 8am. We were in the hospital by 4am pre-rounding on our patients, and leaving around 6/7pm. I was a zombie for 2 months while on surgery. *shudder
ReplyDeleteWow, shows how different healthcare worker rotas are around the world :o I can't imagine 4am - 7pm being a safe rota for anyone! x
DeleteBest of luck! I work in aged care and learnt about palliative care. I don't know how you do it. Must be hard. By the way, I have a blog too called natsmyplanner.com. Hope you check it out! Love your blog :-)
ReplyDeletePalliative care was a great week but I don't think I could do it for all of the emotional burden. Can imagine it being such a fulfilling career though but I don't think I'm emotionally strong enough for it :) x
DeleteHi Angela,
ReplyDeleteI recently stumbled across your blog and your notes have really inspired me to take note-taking more seriously. I was just wondering how you organise and decide on the type of notebooks/folders/looseleaf paper you use for what purpose. For example, do you prefer to use looseleaf paper for workshops and tutorials and notebooks for revised notes etc..
Uni has just started here in Australia and I'm planning on buying all my stationery tomorrow but I'm not too sure on how I plan on organising everything. Any tips would be really helpful :) Thanks!!
Hey! I don't really decide on the type. I just go for one and run with it and make it work for me. I prefer notebooks because there are so many pretty ones on the market (and not to many pretty folders) so that's a purely aesthetic thing rather than a function thing.
DeleteGood luck with uni! x
