Back to school tomorrow!
 

Can't believe that at the age of 47 I'm heading back to school tomorrow :eek:. Have decided to do a couple of papers at AUT before applying to become a trainee anaesthetic technician.

I'm not too nervous about the Human Anatomy & Physiology paper as I was a midwife for 10 years plus 3 years training but felt I needed a refresher as I'm more familiar with some bits of anatomy than others ;) :lol:.

Rather nervous about the Biophysics, which I'm doing on-line. Last time I did any physics was back in 1980 (& I know some on here weren't even born then!), & I've never got to grips with quantum stuff etc. Hoping my two brain cells meet every now & again.

I'm rather excited about starting something new & hoping that it will make me more settled here. Giving up midwifery & not working for the last 3 years hasn't been easy both financially & emotionally. I loved my career & I would still be practising in the UK but heigh-ho!

Time to move onwards & :fingerscrossed: upwards.

Good luck Vital, I hope you make a success of it. Cringing already at the thoughts of what you have to study, I don't have the constitution for dealing with too much information on bodily parts and functions, beyond basics of knowing their names and what they're for. Even then I might struggle some. :lol:

All the best with this venture VBS. Hope you find it enjoyable and enriching.

Thanks all. Well other than the lecturer I was the oldest in the class by some way :rofl: The majority were "straight from school", think the tutorial guy could get on my wick. Talked to everyone as if they were about 5 years old :o.

Ragdolls, I shall be quizing this week, clinical pharmocology sounds interesting. I was hoping Massey did the Anaesthetic technicians course but sadly it's only available at AUT.
