Country life has given me a new perspective

Hello from Cunnamulla. It’s difficult to believe that the year is already half way through. I remember thinking to myself before New Year’s Eve, what would I like to achieve this year? What areas of myself would I like to improve?

So, while I am sitting here typing this entry, I look back and reflect on how much my life as changed in the span of six month.

A fresh perspective

Relocating to South West Queensland has definitely given me perspective on what I want in the future in regard to education, relationships/friendships and experience.

Since my last entry I have been back to Brisbane a couple of a times catching up with friends and graduating from university – Australian Catholic University holds their graduation later due to the number of students completing placements. I enjoyed attending graduation, catching up with everyone and hearing about their different areas of employment.

My days in Charleville and Cunnamulla

Additionally, we recently had a few education days in Charleville. It was great catching up with all the girls, comparing each other’s stories and treatment utilised in certain situations.

The Cunnamulla show was last month. It was great to see how a smaller country town sets up their show and what they include. It had everything from a boxing tent to wool shed displays designed by the primary school children. Of course, to top the night off there was a DJ and dance floor!

With the nursing life, my routine is sleep, eat, work and repeat – that pretty much sums up life at the moment.

Winter has definitely set in at Cunnamulla – night shifts involve freezing nights and many layers.

Okay, off to do the sleep part of my routine. Goodnight!
