Thought this would be a good thread for all of us students.

when you have a good or bad day at uni or placement.

We can tell eachother!!

MM: yesterday I looked aftera diabetic lady, took her blood sugars every hour, gave Vitamin K for the first time, clexane for the first time and took blood twice all on my own!!!

Not boasting, just thrilled, sorry

What a great idea, oooh you are clever, well done.

I will remember this thread when I have had a good or bad day lol.

Awww, thanks!

Another one, but it was on Thursday.

My very first hands-on!!!!

It was fabulous.

Also I had a real sense of love and admiration for the woman.

When I think about it, it makes me go a bit

Your very welcome.

Oh wow I bet that was an amazing feeling, I am still waiting for my first witness, keep hoping that 'today will be the day' but so far no luck

Oh well, one day it will happen I am just very impatient
