Transition week 2

So electives are over, and today, Monday 30th June, 2008 is our second week of Transition - basically a lot of revision and discussion about our State rego exam.

I'm still looking for a job - and still waiting to hear back from the places I applied to, Tauranga, Hamilton, Whangarai. Also, there are still empty places in the local hospital's new grad programme so I caught up with the lady in charge of that and showed my interest - I missed applying the first time round by one day.

If I don't get one of those new grad places I'll just arse around for 5 months or so and try to get into the programmes that start in Jan, and there's a lot more of them.

Not long left now....

More job app-laa-maa-caa-chuning

I'm doing my elective at the emergency department (in NZL we call it A&E - Accident and Emergency).

Also applying for jobs. Applied at Hamilton, Tauranaga, Whangarai (spelling, whoops) and for a mental health job in the local region.

I'd really like to escape the stinking, Mongrel Mob infested confines of Hawkes Bay, and since Tauranga is a tourist town and will cost the earth to live there, I'd probably go Hamilton if I was offered the job. Whanagarai is some small town up north, about two hours from Auckland (if my friend's geographical knowledge is correct) while I like small towns, I dunno. I'd probably take it if Hamilton and Tauranga ended as a no go.

I'm really sick of a being a student, I can't wait till I have a job, I'm sick of being poor.

And living off potoatoes looses its charm really quickly.
