Placement, etc.

Now got 28 deliveries which is great- 12 more to go and I'll be in labour ward until Decemeber so I'm hopeful that I will get my 40 soon. I've been practicing my perineal repair/suturing on our little models but I can't wait to get in and do the real thing. One of my classmates has already sutured a 2nd degree with direction and was surprised how well she done.

I think it's a skill that will come in really handy in the future when I'm a doctor, along with cannulation (which I am reallyyyy looking forward to doing). Some other wards say we are cruel in obstetrics because we only use 16G grey cannulas, the reason being, if something goes wrong it does so extremely quickly, so pink cannulas don't cut it.

Academically, I'm waiting on my results from both essays. Hopefully hear by next week what I have got. I have a 3 hour exam in two weeks on acute and chronic pain- hoping to do quite well in it, but i've been told by a midwife who done it last year that it's nothing like the guidance and they all complained about it... Doesn't that sound oh so familiar :( !

On a more positive note: NEW MOON is out next Friday :D :D :D
I'm so excited!!! I have waited so long for this to be released- I am obsessed!
