Good grades.

I am currently working towards obtaining my Acute Care certificate in order to be fully qualified to care for the really sick babes that come into the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) where I work. Once I complete the course I will be fully qualified to work in the ICU half of the Unit and care for the micro-prem 23-24 weekers that require very intensive support and nursing care. I submitted my first assignment just over a week ago. It was a piece of creative writing that I re-wrote from an earlier course. I got 25/30 and my tutor said that the only reason I didn't score higher was because she's not particularly creative and I didn't supply an explanation page for some of my more abstract quotes and responses - fair comment and I'm totally happy with my mark. I just want to pass and get the other side of this thing so that I can finally start doing the type of nursing I've wanted to do since I was 18 and first went into nursing. I guess I'm not quite the dunce I like to think I am! :)
