been thinking about blogging for a while. but wasn't sufficiently motivated enough to create one let alone write one.
but after my first week working with the NHS, i felt like i suddenly had so much to get out of my chest. from the trust to the ward, everything seems to be so disorganised and chaotic. if i were paranoid schizophrenic, would have thought the whole world is conspiring against me since the day i got the letter from my trust HR offering me a job.
and what the heck is this 6 months nurse preceptorship? why can't they do it properly during our nurse training? from speaking to my fellow students from the same cohort who have got jobs on various wards, the preceptorship training is so arbitrary, so random. the kind of training you get during your preceptorship depends on the ward you go to and i must say so far i'm far from impressed by the way my preceptorship training is going. is this like a postcode lottery thingy? tough if u go to a ward that is so disorganised about their preceptorship training!!
i feel like swearing now. can i swear on my own blog!? !"£$%^&*%^&*()*&^%$
I can sympathise as I have been in my new job for a week and a half and it's all so daunting. The HR experience was poor, and when on the ward I feel like a spare part so far (and am even longing to do obs - ha ha). BUT I think I'm one of the lucky ones (for once in my life) who is receiving a structured induction programme. Compare this with those poor souls whose wards weren't even expecting them :-( [I've heard this of a certain ward.]
