So three days into the course and no sign of the induction lectures coming to an end. A truly riveting talk on IPL (inter proffesional learning) a lot about student services and the student union but no sign of midwifery yet, which is a bit of a let down. The lecturer today enjoyed scaring everyone about the 2 strike rule which is if you fail an assignment, exam or anything twice your off the course, for me that's a pretty worrying prospect. Then after lunch we were dragged around campus and the library in large groups as they had put us with the ODP for a bit of IPL or bonding which ever. So although we didn't do even a sniff of midwifery today it was still much better than sitting on our bums for three hours, so I'm grateful.
For part of any health care course now you have to jump though a whole host of hoops to get to where you want to be, one of which is an occupational health test, for anyone who doesn't know what this is. It is people jabbing you with needles to check that you haven't caught anything or are not infectious which is fair enough. But the amount of blood they took out of my arm was enough to satisfy any vampire. To top it off they want me back next week for more blood pinching but in return they will be giving me a lovely BCG jab, Yay :) us midwives have all the fun!
