Last week was hectic
Last week my schedule was really bulged out busy. We had our duty at San Lazaro Hospital where communicable and infectious diseases can be found. Everyday of the week I had classes and clinical duties to go to and I had less likely time for myself and some under-the-sun activities other than school-related stuff. Full blown! I even felt as if I was being banned to get a complete beauty rest and acquire personal privileges, lol. Most probably because I haven't experienced yet been given a 5-day duty and a class after until 9:30 pm since I started studying Nursing. I mean I wasn't being used to that thing. Prior we had hospital duties in my past school for six days only in every other month and a class that'd end up until 7pm only, unlike in my new school now, ours are continuous. Though they seem like odds, I find everything very helpful to me. Through this kind of breaking experience, I will be able to learn whether I like it or not to manage my time wisely, value the importance of mastering the course very well, and to what I think is the most important, this would give way to the acknowledgment of more learning opportunities to get myself more familiarized with such skills and practices. Just so you know I love my new school and my NCM buddies as well! They're all pretty awesome. :)
This week's agenda
No classes for today and I gotta gimme a break! *confetti bangs and blasts!* Hihi. I know I shouldn't have celebrated because this is just the starting line for the long run still, more and more are coming as time's getting nearer till we finally take up the board exam. (I can feel the pressure is comiiiiing in about a year and a half from now!) Haha. But just for the mean time, I make use of this day to get freed and take off worries <3. Who would be able to concentrate in reviewing chapters of mind-wracking lessons if you, aren't in the mood enough to understand what your professor keeps on saying and pinpointing in the class? Let's just say in a nutshell, I have a class tomorrow and an exam too, and I haven't flipped yet a single thing in my handouts. Not just in my best condition to do that now and maybe I'd pursue later if the mood strikes. Oh well what a very "hardworking" and "industrious" student am I. :l =))
And btw, I may not be exerting the effort to study or what today but certainly not wasting time here, just so you know. I cleaned the house and arranged home ornaments. Folded the clothes in the drawer and put in order the cluttered items I just discovered under my bed (what on earth I haven't figured and sorted out those mess like for decades already). I've read a number of wonderful and remarkable blog posts I found in the web and learned something to work upon self for the better. Poked a friend on Facebook, and checked out the blog/site/page of my crush. HAHA! Plus, I still managed to cook and prepare the "delicious" dinner last night even though I was really dead tired from school. Ever wondering what should be indicated in your things-to-do list so you'll end up the day real productive? See mine. I hope those count. ;P
What about the next week?
Back to the main topic again. Of course what will you expect? Next week is again another week of clinical duties to roam into starting on July 2 - 6 at Philippine Orthopedic Center, a place where the human bones live up their lives. Hehe. And perhaps, another set of tests too. I cross my fingers not to commit a health crime there. We'll be handling patients with both mild and severe fractures etc. and as usual not again a place for the clumsy and careless like dragged out of nowhere. Woah. Although sometimes just the thought of yourself taking over some serious health issues where the person's life depends on you, it could make you go nervous and uneasy. Just saying, in my part. Maybe for the others too.
Yet whatever is the circumstance or situation there is, you should always be ready, attentive and alert to everything your clinical instructor or the doctor will instruct you to do. Being a registered/prospective nurse, it is your responsibility to be at all times aware of your client's needs and health status. You are part of the health team advocate, so you need to be well-oriented regarding proper care giving and management. "I am a NURSE. I help save lives. I make a difference." -- Haha, the quotation written on my white baller bracelet.
