Making or breaking of a decent classification

[Nurse1988]

Starting to really panic now. Changed dissertation content again due to lack of literature. Due the 16th April so better get finger out. Finding it very hard to get motivated

Sent an online application to COWA today for access to medicine programme which cheered me up a little.

Think I may finally have come up with a semi-decent plan for my dissertation shouldn't speak to soon though I guess....

Ultimately what I am wanting to research is how we can provide stroke patients with a better deal psychologically (focusing on post stroke depression).

Chapter 1

Chapter one- treatment options available (although strictly speaking 3 isn't a treatment option but it certainly comes into it).

1-PHARMOCOLOGY compare, compare, compare studies
2-PSYCHOTHERAPY go compare! Studies
3-PATIENT CENTRED APPROACH compaaaaaare studies

Highlight that patients and service users want services tailored better to their needs (have already found studies to back this up). And also that what clinicians want for patients isn’t always the same as what the patient wants- bring in EBP and how it must include the patient etc. Would it be better to implement pharmacology, psychotherapy AND patient centred stuff, or patient centred stuff alone *ponder* DISCUSS

Chapter 2

Assessment tools. How good are they? Find studies and compare tools.

Of course maybe it would be better to switch the content of chapters one and two around but that is easily rectified.

Oh my god I think I have myself a plan..........

Dissertation going slightly better. Still slow as treacle though. Both Stow and COWA are interviewing lovely shiny people at the moment and I havn't heard a peep. Oh well...

[Nurse1988]

Got letter in post from Stow 'acknowledging application'.
*sigh* what a waste of paper. Was hoping for a yey or nay.
Heard through the grapevine that they are already interviewing. Surely this is a bad sign?

[Nurse1988]

Ok, so I got an interview letter for COWA this morning. So why I am not going through the celing? Urgh. Need a pick me up man.

Dissertation is progressing slowly but surely.
Confused now. So many choices regarding what to do with life.
Mum reckons I should persue dentistry instead (???).
My brain=officially mashed.
