Well, this is my last blog to you and I feel it has come along so much quicker than I had expected. It doesn't feel like long ago I was applying for this role and writing my welcome post, but here we are!Firstly, I was hoping to have some good job news to write about today to tie up everything but unfortunately I am still awaiting news. I telephoned the contact for the vacancy on Tuesday and was told that they would be finalising the interview panel midweek so although I was hoping to hear by the end of this working week, at least it isn't bad news! The other position I applied for closes tomorrow so they kind of both are happening at the same time, I will just have to wait and see (I'm terribly impatient in these situations!)
I have started to pack up boxes and organise furniture to start the big move to Somerset with my partner hiring a van on Monday to get things going. We also need to spend a few days building our new Ikea flat pack furniture which could means make or break for us by other peoples account of the stress attached to such a task! Wish me luck!I still have six weeks remaining leave and have a number of plans booked in. A final farewell to living within such easy access of London (we will be doing the complete tourist thing of tour bus and Harrods). I am also heading over to the Isle of Wight next weekend for the end of Cowes Week with fireworks and cocktails (again...hard life!). Other than a few things I am taking it as it comes. I have settled into the routine of running the family house making sure the housework is done and meals are cooked to take the burden off of my mum, and am spending quite a lot of time next door getting my grandparents' house ready for putting on the market, so I do have some uses.
Looking back now it feels like such a long time since I was in Uni and I guess it has been since my last lecture was back in March. I am also slightly nervous about starting work next month (if I can make a decision on a job that is) as I will be starting at a completely new Trust with new systems and ways of doing things. Not only this but after a few months off from practice I will suddenly be a staff nurse as opposed to a student which is huge!
Other students at the University have recently had their Graduation ceremonies, but we should hopefully be getting our invites for ours in November by the end of this month. It feels rather strange that I will be seeing all of my class/cohort next month for one day only, so this will both be a catch up and a good bye. I still don't know how I am feeling about this!
Thanks for listening and Good Luck!
