:: My Seniors At Work ::
I'm officially a month old volunteer at the hospital!
Kudos to myself for able to tolerate the wrath of the attending physicians, critical colleagues, weekly boring seminars, only one day off per week, night shifts, excessively shrewd watchers, crazy AND's for removing the chairs in all wards permanently [leaving us standing the entire shift], and etc.
On the lighter note, I have learned several techniques & styles under the preceptorship of my seniors for the past month:
Yolly. Calm despite the number of patients being taken care of. Time management. Fast charting. Confident in dealing with AP's.
Jenny. HGT monitoring. NGT feeding. Paper works.
Ann. Insulin injection. IV insertion. Paper works.
Mards. Even though we only worked once, I've learned the value of precise amount of delivery of IV fluids--how much and when it should exactly be consumed.
Nell. Also, worked with her once. She made me realized that memorizing the details of each patient (8-12) is possible despite the lack of my short term memory. Being serious and effective in giving patient care.
Chesca. Being courteous at ALL times. Saying thank you and po can never fail you.
Carol. When she asks, it always mean STAT.
Mamai. Wish I could work with her soon.
Rose. Charting. Allowing and trusting me to handle patient. Informing and correcting me with my errors in charting.
Eden. For explaining and answering my makulit na questions. Allowing me to endorse my patient to the OR staff.
These may seemed small. But "great things are done by a series of small things brought together (Van Gogh)."
