CHALLENGING NEW SEMESTER


Back to reality after a few weeks break and it’s hard to fall back into the routine of lectures. This semester is our Psych block which admittedly I’m very nervous for. In previous years my practical placements have been at old ages homes and so this year when we were allowed some choice in our placements I decided to go for a Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation centre in Newlands Park. Although I am quite anxious about what lies ahead I think that I need to challenge myself through working in an acute setting with a supervisor who I know is going to push me. I want to ensure that I have a good foundation so that I am prepared for my fourth and final year next year…

To prepare myself for the weeks ahead I am going to look back on work done in previous years (it has been a year since we did Pysch last :/) but most importantly I am going to ensure I sleep as much as I can now because I have a feeling sleep will be a luxury in a couple of weeks’ time. To stay motivated, I think the experience that I talked about in my previous blog will help me keep my head down.
