Re: Final placement of year 2 coming up... ive been on a urology wrtd lou and really enjoyed it, you will so many shades of wee that you didnt know existed! lol
--- RGN at last : ) now all the stress was worth it!!!!
Re: Final placement of year 2 coming up... i really liked urology... it was my 2nd placement back in 1988 my first ever surgical ward and still remember many of the fantastic patients .
have since worked in nurse urology clinic and plan to do a few more shifts there .
learned how to do bladder scans it was great cos that was the first 'new' thing id learned as a staff nurse .
Re: Final placement of year 2 coming up... it starts 20th june. moreso, ive heard from 3 different people that the staff on there are lovely and its really relaxed! i like it when i hear things like that- im totally not nervous now!
Re: Final placement of year 2 coming up... Just think lou soon it will be the end of third year! Have you any thoughts about where you would like to work?
Re: Final placement of year 2 coming up... Hey Lou
Good Luck for your first day. I was just thinking along the same lines as Niki soon it will be your first third year placement - is that a scarey thaught?
Re: Final placement of year 2 coming up... LOL arther, its been ok so far, a bit boring and quiet at times and to be honest i havent really done much that i havent done already. its very quiet and quite slow paced- we seem to have quite a few coffee breaks! i suppose it gives me a relaxed ending to year 2 as its been a bit of a hectic year. im looking forward to going to year 3 but also quite nervous at the same time. I think for this placement i will try and concentrate on learning some urological anatomy and physiology and the investigatons that are carried out like cystoscopys and TURT etc. Im still not entirely sure where i would like to work but for my management i am putting A&E down as one choice and still havent made my mind up about the others, possibly coronary care. no idea for 3rd choice but was thinking about a diabetes ward. people are trying to put me off that though as u dont only get diabetes but alot of other medical things too- oh i dont know!
