No eventful dreams last night. Thank goodness for that.
Attended a clinical skills workshop that was supposed to be for midwifes and nurses and thought it was a bit irrelevant during the morning session, but there was a fancy free lunch! And in the afternoon we did some really cool and practical stuff that we NEVER get taught. It was not just giving IV drugs, which, in practice, is really actually always the nurses who do. Each scenario evolved to include a medical component as well (had anaphylactic reaction, did an IV insulin sliding scale and had a respi depression following IV morphine), which was unexpected and so was really good for keeping us on our toes. They were so nice to keep including us even though we were not scheduled to be there.
Had a spot of teaching with an enthusiastic FY. It was very practical and very realistic because he used to be a Leicester student and so could tell us what we needed/did not need to know. In a very informal and swearish way. I guess that promotes more active discussion from us, in a way.
Stole the pretty Christmas napkins and the last cheese bun left from the free lunch. It was such a waste to just leave them there. Got a free 3M pen and cannula documentation stickers too (-:
Meh. Have to finish our poster by tonight just to get it out of the way. Also have to finish designing a half-hearted screening process which obviously will have many major flaws, if not other people would have already thought of and implemented it by now.
