am i going to fail?

presentations sound fun. are the assignments longer than 2500 words? Thats what were doing at the moment. Im at salford.

Yeah the presentation is cool because it's for public health so we can pick anything to do it on!

I haven't had one over 2000 words yet so your uni is mean

Are you enjoying it so far?

I dont like the assignments. I love placement. i prefer the longer assignments. more of a chance of hitting all the marks. we had a 1000 word one, the one i failed, and i didnt have enough words to explain properly. are you at liverpool?

I dont really enjoy theory at all. id prefer to be on placement. we had some interesting biology lectures though.

How about you?

Yep, I'm at Liverpool

I love it! I love uni time but I get a bit fed up with some of the lectures sometimes. Some of them I just sit there and wonder why we need to be doing it. Especially in first year! It was like having lectures teaching you common sense! The assignments I have at the moment I'm ok with, but they haven't been my favourite part! I'm awful at organising myself to do them

Placements are hit and miss but my last one was amazing so can't complain! Are there any placements you really want or are dreading?

those were exactly my thoughts. so far so good with placements. i dont want prison or dementia placements.

One of my favourite patients I've looked after had dementia so you may be suprised

Saying that, my grandad has it and he was a nightmare when he was in hospital

its just the cleaning up part that i dont want to do. one of the nurses in my group said she had to do it three times in one shift. Its a bit disgusting thats all.

im sure the patients are lovely.

lol Just hope you never get stuck on a ward that has C-Diff.

It's just horrible.

Why didnt you just say that in the first place?

Thats a nicer response.

I wasnt listening to her tbh. thats why i was arguing. im beginning to understand she has a reputation on tsr. Hows the whole doctor thing going? when are you applying?

apparently it offends people when i talk about it on trs so i have to be careful what i say. but i am sure you know what i mean .
basically i have to see if i am allowed to do chem Alevel at my local college if i cant then i will be applying to nursing.
(just writting that makes me feel like i am braking a trs law - but lets face it you cant do right for trying on this site)
if i can do chem (even though it looks unlikely) then i will apply to medicine.

because she likes to wind people up and put them down (what a great nurse she will be with this attitude ). dont listen to her. no matter what grade you get, what your goals are, what course you are on, what colour hair you have she will "know" a better way to do it. she seems to have some real insecurity about nuring thats why she feels the need to protect it all the time (she wouldnt bother otherwise). and a one track mind that never considers a bigger picture or personal circumstanses (again a great attitude for a nurse).
according to her adult nursing at her uni in her year is the best out of all the courses but she has never done metal health nursing so she has no clue about the difficulties mental health nurses face.

You just summed up everything I'd been thinking!! I'm always looking on the nursing threads and I feel like all I do is go over her posts and saying a different side! The 'I'm further in my nursing than you' can't be used with me though

yes but this means very little.

I'm sure she has the best intentions really and thinks she's giving good advice though Hopefully she just doesn't realise she comes across unfriendly and a bit up herself...

Is this 'Let's hate Sub' week?

I think that if you want to shred someone's character it would be far more appropriate to do it in private rather than bitching on a public forum. I can assure you that neither of you come out smelling of roses nor do you look clever. Just two snidey cows who lack the discretion to bitch in private.

Excuse me but the last thing I said was that I'm sure she has the best intentions and feels she is giving good advice and probably doesn't realise she is coming across as being nasty. That's not exactly being a bitch.

I'm sorry if i agreed with someone for saying that someone else likes putting people down, but it is true. I never ripped into her character at all, in fact i just defended it by saying I didn't think she meant to come across nastily.
