I was told last night that I had to post on my blog. I offered up excuses but in short, I probably could post more. Although, if someone wants to know whats happening in my life and is standing right in front of me, they should ask me.
So it turns out that I have just enjoyed the funnest week of working that I have had. I got to go to a training course in the 'Garden City'. I stayed in a nice motel paid for by work which was a 1 minute walk to where I had to go each morning. The course was also paid for by work (so I am calling it a business trip cuz then i sound cool). And I got to listen to very knowledgable people talk about a subject that I am intensly interested in ... nursing. And I got to learn to do cool stuff like put breathing tubes down people's throats (LMAs) and needles into veins (cannulation). And I got taught how to read the bane of my existence (ECGs - which is very useful when the Dr is half an hour away at 2am and wont come in unless I can find something good enough on the ECg.) And my surprisingly favourite bit of all ... I learned how to suture. And now I only have to do 2 supervised ones on real people (as opposed to pigs trotters) and I can do them by myself. I am so excited. I can't wait. I love tying the knots.

Oh, and by the way, it turns out (not unexpectedly) that there is so much more to learn about nursing than I ever imagined and getting the chance to listen to people who know stuff that I want to know was invaluable.
