blue nurse

A random blog which informs about my life's events, strange insights and the occasion complaint ... if you can handle all that, then maybe we can talk about becoming friends

Name:
Location: Sydney, New South Wales, Australia

I am a registered nurse, living in Sydney, about to begin my first year of real work. I grew up around the Pacific and have friends from various parts of the world ... mainly AUS, PNG, & USA. Recently I fell in love with travel and would love to do more. I think it would be awesome to have friends in every country and really get to know the locals therefore having a more indepth experience of the culture than just being an average tourist. I have a passion for education, stopping poverty, caring for the elderly, and the freedom for people to have alternative lifestyles. It would be a mad experience to work with the United Nations, Amnesty International or a likewise organisation to help eliminate poverty - I know, I know, bit of a Bleeding Heart and all that ... but I like it. :)

My first day!

It's been the hot topic for the past few weeks. It was the issue that was a distant cloud hanging around throughout my trip to USA. It was the reason why I got all organised, filled in paperwork, contacted security & uniform shops. I lost sleep over it ... mainly last night!

And then I turn up & orientation for my new RN job is: in my old classroom with a large percentage of people from my old class!! I ate at the same cafe & I am able to walk to my job (just like when I was in uni!). All the information that they gave us on our first day, I have heard throughout the past 3 yrs! Kinda ironic, I reckon!

But I am 100% certain that as much as this feeling of "I know what I am doing & what this machine does" will last as long as I am physically NOT on the wards! So, when orientation stops & I actually start the work side of things, I will PANIC!! Yipee! :P

I'm sure you will do just great. They know you and have hired you for a reason (they know you and know you're good at what you do!)! Good luck!

Hey Shaz, don't panic too much - I know you're gonna do a great job and the patients will love you :) And if not, just stand on their oxygen supply... ;) Just kidding!

All the best for it!

of course you'll do great! it will take you five minutes to be the favourite nurse among the bed-ridden and all female nurses will hate you but all male nurses will be imagining u naked. (oh wait...this is starting to sound like a soapy!)

I'll just leave it at, you'll be awesome...just like always!
