the latest happenings..
my room., bed, pillows.. oh, heaven! mind you, nowadays, those are just the things that excite me whenever i go home.. haha.. such a sleepyhead! but i wouldn’t be like that if not for this course, what else? b.s. nursing.. we just finished our first rotation this summer 2008.. basic life support was so fun although after that, my whole body just ached.. we were so fortunate to be taught by the people in central 911.. ateneo de davao university is the only school affiliated by the central 911 and boy, we were just so lucky!..=p they taught us basic first aid, how to do cpr and most of all, the mass casualty incident.. it was a very wonderful experience.. running here and there, performing skills and meeting a lot of new people.. haha..=p the added plus.. *wink* after that, we were then assigned to the OB ward of the Davao Medical Center.. such a pity seeing those moms and babies in that kind of situation.. the heat, the smell, the noise.. it’s just saddens me to see them like that everyday.. what more, because there are so many patients, some of them share in the same bed and rodents such as cockroaches hoard them like hell.. it was really disgusting.. but it was really an eye-opener for me..the people around us suffer and yet here we are, wasting our money for some nonsense things.. *sigh* with the energy-draining environment, who wouldn’t be knocked down after 8 hours of duty?! haha.. worse thing is, i have to wake up at around 3 am to make my requirements.. oh, life! i’m just so tired.. but i believe, by God’s grace, i can do all things.. next week, we will be assigned in the davao medical center intensive care unit.. i am so nervous and scared.. i really don’t know what to do.. but it’s a challenge for me.. a challenge that i should not evade but FACE!! oh Lord, help me..=)
