Hey,

well its nearly here the first day of enrollment and the likes!!!

I was a bit confused before, as I was only told on 1st Sept I had a place.

So I decided to go into the uni and ask some questions! I have now got my offer letter in the post to send to SAAS to apply for my bursary, and I have my jags or shots or whatever ya wana call them on tue morn and then ive to go back to uni and enroll-even have the room number but I will be late as it says enrollment 9am but my appt at occup health is at 9am so thats the only thing thats a bit confusing so far! feeew

Inside my new uni is amazing as it was recently refurbished. Its all modern and funky!

I had my interview for nurse bank today so will find out if I was successful in a few days!

hi lou

hey thank you so much!

I am so excited! ive got loads to sort 2mrw in town also-like change my bank account to student and get council tax sorted-its totally pouring outside-i think il need to invest in a raincoat seeing il be busing it everwhere since my b/f has the car

okay first day over...

this morn i went for a health screening and got blood taken etc

then over to uni -as i missed the introduction lecture due to my occ health appt I walked in to the lecture theatre and everyone was in groups and had friends, I sat down and for the rest of the day was myself :(

I then realised i had left my driving licence at occ health so had to get a taxi there and back at lunch time therefore had no lunch or got to speak to anyone again!

I have the cold so was so bad sitting through lecture with runny nose

At end of day went to get my student card etc

2mrw i am in all day again-and uniforms end of day, off thur apart from a ict induction and then off friday

I have no friends! I was the only person sitting their self, it was horrible!I am a really easy going friendly person yet I found it hard as eveyone one was in wee groups already! i made friends at college on 1st day so easily-this was harder


It was quite a tiring day as so much to take in, will get my timetable for the next 8 weeks 2mrw also

I feel like oh my god ive got so much ahead of me!They made having a part time job a big deal, saying most ppl that failed was due to this but i need one to survive so i dont hae a choice!!

louisa

hi

awwwwwwww thats horrible it sounds like you have had such a bad day i feel so bad for you, i know you are an easy going person i find it so easy to say anything to you, just look at tomorrow as a new day and forget how bad today was, and i am sure that you will find a group that you will fit right in to, aim to get there a bit early and there will be other people that are early too and with it only been the second day i am sure everyone will still be nervous and looking for that person that they can talk to so they wont be alone, the hard part is over you have done occ health and you have had your first day even though it was horrible from here on in i know it will be better.

as for working you should just look at it as i need to work and i know that it will be harder and i could fail so i will make sure that i know this and i will find the time to put the extra time that is required to make sure i am not one of the many who fail but one of the many that work and pass, there will also be others on your course who work i know as long as you remember why you are there you can work and pass with flying colours.

i hope that tom is better and i am sure that the next time you message it will be full of good uni days, just have that picture in the back of your mind where you are now and where you will be when you finish

good luck for tom
leax :)

Hey today wasa bit better-made a friend but then found out shes not in my group for the next 8 weeks but hey its better than yest

Can i just say make the most of ur free time cos already i feel snowed under haha

I bought this package called nurse for life made by itunes its really kool-got it in uni book shop-you get 3 books with it and there on the cdrom-along with the cd rom you can use it to automatically use it for refrencing-no pasting! and you can add notes to diagrams and highlight text diff colour -and impost diamgrams into essays pretty niffty!


got my uniform today-5 tuncs and 3 pairs of trousers, my tunic is white with "caledonian uni student" on it oh and i got anavy blue jacket

i now need to find shoe and a fob watch-any idea where to get a cheap fob online?

start my physiology module monday morning, 1st placement starts 10th nov for 6 weeks

Got the worst cold ever!!!! I dont know if i can do my nhs24 job as the training starts at 5 every night and im in till 5 on a tuesday-Dam so annoying really looking fwd to doing it ans was perfect hours once the training finished

got a letter from the nurse bank saying i was successful so got that in a few weeks at least but the works not guarented!

ahh Its a chaotic few days-we are all so confused as our groups keep getting moved about and theres a lot of students!!

trust me-its kinda full on espesh the whole learing how to use the uni it softwear etc

dont want to scare you but you'll be very busy from the off!!

im away to try find another job seeing the nhs24 make it impossible for student nurses to do the training-you think they'd want us to work for them!
