Back on track

I had a meeting with my programme manager who suggested that, as I still sounded wheezy and couldn't return to a ward environment that I should go back to my GP and get another sick note.

She also agreed that I can't go on any placements until my chest is clear - which I will know once I've had the chest X-ray. Watching day time TV was boring but I also spent a lot of time working on 2 essays which are due for submission soon.

I didn't get a very good mark for my practice essay - only 40% because I didn't use enough quotes. I'm disappointed at this so I've booked a tutorial with my marker (in university you get a different , named assignment marker for each assignment you do and you can book tutorials with them before and after they have marked your work) to get advice on how to improve. I have also booked appointments with the markers of my other 2 essays as I want the scores to be better.

We've a poster presentation soon so I know I've got that to prepare. My mam wants to take my children out for the day on saturday so that will give me time to get the essays sorted at least.

It was disappointing missing most of my first placement - I feel like a student rather than a student nurse, I still don't have most of my energy back but I know this will take time, in the mean time I have discovered apple flavour lucozade lol. At least I can continue on the course with the good friends I have made.
