I am a student of nursing. According to the university through which I am studying, we can't call ourselves 'Student Nurses'. Apparently it implies all too much that we are actual nurses. Never mind the fact that we do a large range of activities undertaken by Registered Nurses (RN), and the fact that we are now, by law, required to register with the Nurses Board as Student Nurses...no. We are still 'Student's of Nursing'.
Don't you just love it?
I have been at the University now for 6 years. Six years. And I still have a year and a bit to go. It all has to do with growing people and studying at the same time - they tend to clash in some ways and so the degree collecting has had to wait. But that's ok...seven years in the grand scheme of things, it isn't so much.
I am not sure yet where I will end up. I do like the idea of emergency nursing. But as yet, I have had no experience with it. So it could end up on my list of most soul destroying jobs of all time.
There is only one job on that list thus far. (retail)
Interesting they issue us 'Student's of Nursing' these 'Nursing Student' ID badges.
In the immortal words of Pete Townshend "Who are you?".
At the moment this is my thing. But we'll see. I am open to many things including living and working in another part of this big country.
So. University. Takes up even more of my time along with the two people I grew once (and continue to water everyday). Hmm, plant connotations. Interesting.
More things about me tomorrow.
