3 kids too. Terrified after seeing how many hours f/t uni is going to take up. I'm working about 80-90 hours a fortnight- the work will help with my work load though. I'm caring for a coma pt. Includes dressings, trachy care, lung/chest suctioning, enemas, meds, feeding via peg, moitoring and addressing temp, stats and heart rate, personal care such as showering via hoist and chair, shaving, repositioning etc and administering additional meds for break through pain. Plus documenting everything.

I think that just about covers my 1st year for being taught the aspects of nursing lol.
