State and all its glory

I sat State rego exam yesterday...

Tuesday 15th July, 2008. First exam was at 9.50 till 11.30 and the second 1.20 till 3pm. I was out early on both of them, cos they give us ten mintues reading time piror and I just go through and pick the answers.

Plus, its really bad to go back over and change your answers as according to my lectuerers you're 90% likely to get it wrong if you change it.

Obesity, diabetes, child health and immunisation were NOT in the exam, despite what w'e've been told for so many years. MS, a lot of mental health, MIs, STDs, and a heap of other cultural safety crap was.

I'm not going to mouth off that I past and I still feel uneasy about some of it. But I"ve just left it in the hands of the Lord and if I pass, well, fantastic, if I don't, well, life will suck hard for the next four months until november when I can do the resit.

But thinking positive...

A much huzzahs!

I have gained employment! At the Hamilton hospital run by Waikato DHB. I start 15th September, so gotta get my A into G to get organised.

State rego exam is this Tuesday coming... only a few days left.

Of course, I can't officially sign any contracts with WDHB until I've gotten my state exam results in August sometime. But I"m confident.

So many huzzahs!

TB ended it all

The disease!

Yes, yesterday, my last class ever at EIT (as an undergraduate at least) was discussing a quick overview about TB. Its quite prevalant in Hawkes Bay and the State rego exam oftentimes has topical issues, and TB was featured in the last few exams.

The only weirdness feelings I experienced yesterday was that it felt like a Friday when it was actually Thrusday, it's now Friday!

I went into school to drop off my evaluation forms file (they save all your forms from clinical over the years you've been there, we get them whenever we need to do photocopying en masse), but it had to be returned for them to do some auditing paper pushing thing with it. As I went in to school, my second intention was to blog from school, but a power fault of some description collasped the whole campus net work, so here I am.

Next week will bring study, then state on the 15th July.

Holy moly,

I have a phone interview for the new grad position in Hamilton this afternoon at 2.30.
