i heart Flindy Town

yay!

well for all those fellow university students, you would know that we today is the end of our fifth week of tertiary education!!!!!! yay!

i cant believe how much shit i have gotten for studying nursing!!! its actually not as bad as everyone thinks! its not until you start studying the topics and talk to nurses and do clinical placements that you see the real backbone of the health care system are all the nurses and no joke they work everywhere in hospitals and in teh community.... i think that everyone is thinking of enrolled nurses who do a 1 year tafe course and can only clean up shit, literally when they are scoffing at those of us doing pre registration nursing and i mean a 3 year degree must have some sort of relevance to the level of knowledge which nurses require and attain in order to perform tasks such as drug calculations, i bet noone realised that doctors just prescribe the drug but it is the nurses who calculate, measure, prepare and administer the drugs!! if you have no knowledge of pharmacy, many doses are based on the patients weight, age, sex, etc...... so i hope that mrs case taught me well enough to not kill anyone!!! eeek.....!

well anyhoo i suppose i am to blame in part for the continuation of the oh nursing is crap attitude considering i am doing a double degree with health sciences which has a bit more respect LOL.... when people ask me what i am studying, i say health sciences and nursing double degree because as soon as people hear nursing they dismiss you as unintelligible...!! we had this discussion in my NURS1404 class which is Preparation for Professional Practice- it appeared that everyone in the class had encountered the "oh ....nursing....thats...good..." especially many of the school leavers who like me, had friends studying more prestigious courses such as law and medicine.... journalism, psychology, behavioural science, biomedical science, science, more law, physiotherapy, economics, medical radiation, blah blah blah

i'll leave you with this image of me in 4 years LOLLLLL
