Hello,
Thought I'd come and post with what I've been up to. I've now completed my first 2 weeks of this placement block. Week 1 was preparation for my clinical assessment and Week 2 was my assessment. I am pleased to say I passed! I didn't get half as nervous as I usually do and I didn't find it as challenging as the portables assessment but I think that's because this assessment included a lot of examinations that I've undertaken on a regular basis so it felt more familiar. It basically included bucky work and dealing with patients on trolleys and using a horizontal beam etc. I really surprised myself because I thought I'd panic as soon as was presented with anything remotely challenging but somehow, deep in there something suddenly seemed to click into place. I feel like a huge weight has been lifted. I've passed all of my clinical assessments, completed all my exams and coursework and I've passed everything so far. Just waiting on one result to come back but I think it should be okay. So now all that is standing between me and the 3rd year is these last few weeks of placement. Scary! Doesn't seem like 5 minutes since I was waiting to start the course.
Aside from my assessment I had a really good week getting loads of experience. Exams that I was struggling with seem to have also finally clicked into place so it's all coming together. A radiographer was telling me only a few weeks ago that things suddenly clicked into place for them and that it would for me too and it seems they were right. So needless to say, last night I was absolutely shattered. Best night's sleep I've had in ages and so far this has been the best weekend in a long time. I feel completely stress and hassle free, personally, lots of positive things have happened and again certain things have fell into place. I can just tell this is going to be a wonderful summer :-) Next week I have a full week in angiography so that will be interesting. Will report back soon. Enjoy the weekend x
