One thing i will say is take EVERY oppertunity to observe and take part in as much Medical stuff as you can.Generally the MO's and Senior Nursing Staff are more than happy to teach you.Its all too easy to just bimble along and not making the best of your time.Depending on your Viewpoint,you are VERY,VERY lucky to be embarking on a Medical Career where you WILL be facing exactly what you were trained to do!Its an oppertunity not to be squandered.It will serve you well if you carry on your Medical Career in Civvy St.Not that many people can have the same front line experiences as you will be privileged to.If it were possible,i would be over in Afghanistan like a shot given the chance.I eventually did my RGN in civvy st and worked in ITU and CCU for 17 years,specialising in aneasthetics and Mechanical/Artificial Ventilation,and i miss it terribly.Sadly working as a Drugs Rep pays far better than an RGN!Good money but the job is like watching paint dry!Just enjoy what will be the most rewarding of careers,you will ever get!
