1st week back and oh my word!!!!

[WickedestWitchUpsadaisy]

The work has piled up!!! Assignments and presentations, competencies, exams and then the weekly homework and placements on top.
We finished a little early today so I went and bought a bottle of Kalms.

How is everyone else getting on so far?

I know the feeling - I registered on my first day two weeks ago to discover that I had already missed a deadline! (Because I had taken last year out and the course has changed slightly). It's taken two weeks to get my computer passwords to work (not my fault) so I'm already behind!

What course are you doing?

Oh no! thats awful...surely they understand that it was out of your control?

I'm studying children's nursing and have just begun my second year.

On my MSc course,there is a woman (very nice too)who commutes to North Wales from Northern Ireland every weekv for a day's lectures.

She also has a job and 5 kids (including an 8 mth old baby)

I will never complain again!

I'm studying nursing too - the competenties etc that you have to do sound familiar! As for the passwords - they just tell me 'be patient' then the person who was meant to be sorting it out went on holiday (at the beginning of term?!) but now it's finally sorted.

ok Moondog, I don't have it soo bad! Just studying a vocational subject in a second language, i've even been known to take my 5 week old dd into lectures with me.

Very hard ith kids eh?
Can't believe ho easy life as hen I as 18 and going for first time.
And I did eff all.

Yes very hard with two kids, don't know how she does it with five! What's your MSc in?

Applied Behaviour Analysis

Obscure at presaent but becoming very big.

It was so much easier studying first time round. I still can't believe that I decided to study as an 'easy' option rather then finding another job!

Moondog I feel a little humbled....don't envy your fellow student, but she must be a very determined and focused person.

Belgo - Which year of your study have you gone back to?

I'm doing the second year of a two year course, which is rapidly becoming a four year course, as it just seems to be taking me ages.(It's a conversion course, I'm already a nurse)

hat are you converting to Belgo???

Someone who can earn more money! Moondog, how can you type essays without a 'w'

Dodgy laptop-am at my sister's.

I read that very fe posts for ne nursing graduates.
Is this true?
Same for salts apparently although more desperately needed (I'm a salt.)

Don't knew the situation in the NHS. I'm in Belgium. There's a shortage of nurses here, but not that short, and it's almost impossible to find part time jobs.

Aaaah.
You must be fluent in Flemish or French then?

I'm supposed to be fluent in flemish. But I really don't feel fluent since starting back on this course. DH is flemish. Why didn't I just marry someone from an English speaking country? for example, Australia?
