Today I had my
first 'shift' on the ward without any supervision, or another ward helper. This
was quite daunting to me as my mind seemed to go blank trying to remember
exactly what I was meant to do on the wards. However after setting up the
trolley for tea and speaking to a few patients, I was feeling much more
comfortable and forgot I was working alone. It taught me I don't need to rely
on other people and to be confident in my own decisions.
Also, this week I had a long chat with one of the nurses who
gave me a bit advice, and generally asked about my aspirations. Although I was
enjoying my independence in my own role, it was really comforting to have
someone to speak to and look out for me. I like being able to work alone, as
well as being part of a team.
