Third week of work

Well now into my third of week and can tell I have now finished my 2 weeks of earlies as on a late today on wednesday 18th July. The lates seem alot more relaxed as not as many as people around but still lots to as the aptients appear to have blood products more often in afternoon. Our lates start at 1.30 have hand over then we usually have an in service for abour 30 minutes which could be on someone talking about a new product or staff member doing presentation. as every staff member has to do a presentaion think mine is not til November, so will have to get deciding what to do mine on. After in service we check the S4 and S8 drugs then go for afternoon tea so back in time for 3.30 when earlies finish. Our lates are til 10pm so is half hour extra than England so we do 40hr weeks but get an extra day off a month.
I also found out today that I can have my annual leave for november the director of nursing said yes so will have to start looking at flights next. So my annual leave will be from 31st October finishing nights that morning til 8th November have to be back in work for 9th November. So it will literally be a flying visit home for about a week if that, but will be nice to see everyone and my niece may be crawling by then.
Then on the thursday i was on a early nice late/ early my favourite shift I dont think. At least one good thing I dont have far to travel to work at the moment only 5 minute walk if that. Since I am now going home hopefully in November for friends wedding going to see if I can stay on staff accommodation til September so I can safe abit of money. On a good note was also pay day today and get paid every fortnight, which is nice.
After work I met Emily and we went to Rhodes to but Kate's leaving present as she leaves tomoorow so we got her some lindt chocolate, as we know Kate loves chocolate. We also got her an australia airplane pillow as she was looking at them at the weekend, so we knew she didnt have one and thought it would be useful.The presents were from Me, Leigh, Emily and Hisako and think Kate liked her presents and we all got to share in having some of the chocolates.
