:: Nuevo ::
New place + new faces + new assignment = Major Adjustment
Being a floater sucks!
I don't know if it's a blessing in disguise or a major drawback for me. In time, I'll find out. It's getting lonely to be far from colleagues whom i get along so well since my first step in the ward. I miss my seniors who taught me well during my hardships there. Goodbye buddy system, this time I handle patients all by myself.
I have to start blending in with my new workplace. Although the physical setup are way better than my old ward, it still doesn't feel warm and welcoming.
Hopefully by tomorrow (2nd day) these will all change.

"Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the present."
Shifu: That flabby Panda is not a warrior. Oogway: You just need to believe.
These are just some of the few lines that struck me when I was watching this film. Not just another animated comedy film but there are tons of good stuff with moral values to learn. A must-see movie, so get your popcorns ready.

:: What's Your Name's Hidden Meaning? ::
Nothing to say. Nothing to talk about. In the meantime, here's another blog quiz:
what James means
You are fair, honest, and logical. You are a natural leader, and people respect you. You never give up, and you will succeed... even if it takes you a hundred tries. You are rational enough to see every part of a problem. You are great at giving other people advice.
You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality.
You are confident, self assured, and capable. You are not easily intimidated. You master any and all skills easily. You don't have to work hard for what you want. You make your life out to be exactly how you want it. And you'll knock down anyone who gets in your way!
You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together.
You are the total package - suave, sexy, smart, and strong. You have the whole world under your spell, and you can influence almost everyone you know. You don't always resist your urges to crush the weak. Just remember, they don't have as much going for them as you do.

:: 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)."

:: Losers' Club ::
Welcome to the club! (talking to myself)
I feel so empty with the same routine I've been doing for the past 3 weeks. Work-home-work-home. I thought having a work will fill that void inside. At first, I was enjoying my work 'coz it kept me preoccupied. However, little by little I get tired of it. Probably, I'm the type of person who get bored easily with what i do or maybe not. I like my colleagues because it's easy to patch up with them despite our differences in work ethics. Most of them are younger than me which is cool.
Yesterday, it took me an extra effort to get up and change to my uniform. I already failed to attend 2 sunday masses. Maybe that nurse from ER is right...I need a lovelife. Thinking of what he said, I really need to start dating since there are no more factors (i.e, school, exams) except one that can hinder to it.
