Press on

With the lectures complete and less than a week to go before the written final and a week for the practical final scenarios, it is a crunch time but not insurmountable. I found in this last skills day that I was actually quite fluent and proficient in the skills (even childbirth). I did a final set of IM/SQ and IV yesterday and it feels good to know that I have mastered those necessary skills.

On the 28th I learn where I am doing my hospital and ambulance practicum, which could be anywhere in the province. The hospital is a short 3 shift stay so it won't be terribly expensive to pay for the hotels I guess. The ambulance will be anywhere between 2 weeks to 2 months... depending on the call volume. If it is in the city, it would be 2 weeks going hard and that's it. Outside the city it would be as it happens. Always a bit of anxiety when it comes to the unknown. Exciting but anxious. Not as exciting as going to a call and not knowing what you'll find.
