Me and a few classmates were saying how we felt a little underwhelmed, as we thought we were not doing enough. We kept thinking that we're doing something wrong, as we would read up on the lesson prior but felt that we needed more. AND oh boy did we get a shock, the amount of reading, home study and assignments now due within a few weeks, makes us feel like we are barely treading water before drowning. Usually, I would feel overwhelmed and decide to bury my head in the sand, but I am so determined to get through the next 3 years, and not just by passing each stage but surpassing all my own expectations too.
We had our first OSCE this week, just an introduction to the exam we have to sit in June. We had such fun, it was just hilarious, the tutor we have is amazing too. He just makes you feel at ease. He manages to make it ok to say things that you might think are correct, but then he will subtly correct you after you explain why we came to a certain decision.
As an HCA, I have found out that we really are blank canvases, we really are not knowledgeable at all. We go through training etc, we just do what we are told, and are not expected to question it, whereas now after what we learned on our first day in the OSCE room, it is hard not to ask why?
Have my shift tomorrow, so hope I'm not too inquisitive as I don't want to come over as overly bearing.
Well here's to a nice Bank Holiday Weekend lets hope I get to have a nice day out on Monday to study.
