Just finished week 3 on the job and getting the hang of it now. Last week had been immensely tiring as it was a 4 day week of 12.5 hour shifts and all I'd wanted to do on my days off was stay in bed and do nothing! This week has been much better - feeling more independent and comfortable with my role and the routine of the day. Additionally, not feeling horrendously tired getting up at 5.45am!
Had a little scare this week when I was helping to feed a patient and had to pull the emergency bell, which causes all the members of staff to come running! It turned out he was having a seizure, but everything turned out fine. The situation reinforced the importance of acting fast when you see any change in behaviour.
