realisd that i've not blogged here for ages! (not that many people read my blog anyway).. i think i kinda forgot i had a blog..
it's the second last day of my long awaited holidays today. gonna work on thurs till next sat and then sch starts! not that i'm involved in orientation week but then it's the bidding week, with all the rubbishy stuff.. yes yes, i know i'm crazy to work for the remaining hols but then i guess i really need the $$$ since our sch is super budget and does not give us allowance when we have attachment! haha.. but i guess i can't deny that clinical provided us "an INVALUABLE EXPERIENCE", one that cannot compared with the $$$ loss we have to bear with. haha. but then working for uncle yau hong also gives me experience, with a bonous too--> $$$ :) haha.
i guess so much has happened since the last time i blogged. i fulfilled 9 weeks of clinicals, 3 weeks in gen surg ward, one in OT, another in CDC and the 4 weeks in 2 different ortho wards (not to mention the super fun night shift in the first ortho ward)! i enjoyed myself tremendously despite the fact that i had to work with someone difficult (not gonna elaborate here since everyone kinda alr knows what's going on and it has been talked about so much that i'm just so sick of the unkindness of it all)! i guess through it all, i've learnt to be more patient, even though i knew that i could have done a whole lot better. but sometimes i wonder where do you draw the line between being nice and letting the other person take advantage of you.. i remember wei-en once explaining it to us during Auxano when we were listening to the sermon on the mount- the beattitudes. "blessed are the meek..." but i guess the situations are different. i guess i should go dig up that auxano notes and read it again. but anyway, back to clinicals, i guess i'm really thankful cux we were all able to take cases, giving holistic care to the patients. and i'm really thankful for my first preceptor who taught me to care for the patient despite having so much admin to do as a staff nurse. she's really someone who i really aspire to be when i graduate.. she's proficient in her skills and knowledge, compassionate in her actions and i can really see God's love shining through her.. haha.. i feel like i'm repeating my clinicals feedback.. whoops..
i guess lately the main thing on my heart has been my dg.. many thoughts and i am really quite discouraged about things. but i guess i'm thankful for the advice, the affirmation and the encouragement that has been given to me. but most importantly, i'm quite thankful for how God has been revealing things to me, things which i've not given much thought to in the past. it's been quite a journey and i do hope that God would work a miracle in the girls' lives.
okies.. i need to stop blogging and go bathe... can't be late for bsf!! :)
