First placement in year one.

The following diary abstracts were experiences that I had on my first fieldwork placement in year one. Not only did I have to travel to the North Island for the first time but I was also up there by myself as an 18 year old. As I had grown up in a small rural town in the South Island this was also a big culture shock for me. Just this on its own was a growing time for me and I feel that this was a very good placement for me to start off on. It was an acute placement in a hospital in a large town, and there were also amazing people up there to support me. This also gave me confidence in myself as I felt I could now travel anywhere within New Zealand and I would be fine.
