I'm walking on sunshine, yeah-yeah!

I knew today was going to be a good day from the moment I got to the hospital and made myself a cuppa. There was milk in the fridge. One solitary carton. When something like that happens, you know someone’s looking out for you that day. Which is nice to know when you have an exam that morning. Gotta love a good omen!

So, t’is the last day of my rotation, and I got my scores – 78% :D. My score sheet is currently as follows:

We get graded on 6 areas which generally includes Professionalism, Knowledge, Proficiency, Problem Solving, Communication Skills, Responsibility & Involvement. C is satisfactory, but some rotations over or undermark.

Small Animal General – 69% (C B C C C C)
Pathology – 81% (B B B B B C)
Equine Medicine – 76% (B C B C B B)
Anaesthesia – 86% (B B B B B A)
Small Animal Medicine – 86% (B B B B B A)
Equine Surgery – 81% (B C B C B A)
Small Animal Surgery – 78% (B C C C B A)

Running average = 79.57%
Rock on, chicas…look at me and my bad clinical self – ah-ha, ah-ha, ah-ha!

Sad though – I’ve enjoyed my time at the hospital so much, and I have only 3 weeks of odd-jobs left there in the new year. All the big rotations have been done – can’t believe they’ve flown by so fast! And so painlessly…

I had a good day today 🙂 I had a formative practical OSCE/OSPVE exam, which was hilarious, got to scrub in to a really interesting op, asked one of my clinicians about becoming an intern, and he was very helpful, bonded with the wicked witch of the east who turned out to be lovely and who even made me coffee O.O, stayed late, worked hard, made pizza, ate pizza. Am generally chuffed 🙂 The world is shiny and happy; there are birds in the sky and the clouds are singing.

Halloween partay at AnM’s tomorrow – still have no outfit. Could be interesting…
