On the second day of my duty, I was reassigned at another ward. A private one. Most of the patients are VIPs.
For two consecutive days, my preceptor was a male nurse who I have noticed has a tendency to be lax. He always came in late for the endorsement and after the endorsement; he took five for his breakfast.
The nurses there are commenting that I am being abused by my preceptor. Honestly, I do not mind it at all. It is nothing compared to the abuse all the trainees have experienced at the Lung Center of the Philippines.
While it is true that we are not allowed to chart and to give medication to the patient at the institution, I think being asked to do so by the bedside nurse would not cost me an arm. Besides, I really feel futile by just sitting there, taking vitals and wheeling patients to and from the lab. Whether his reason by delegating to me his tasks was for me to learn or for him to get rid of them, I am up for it. I want excitement.
I do not have ill feelings about the staff nurses at my current ward assignment, but I think I need to do and learn more. Most of the patients in this ward are just there for executive or routine check ups. No special conditions. I want to handle level 2 and up patients as this is where my critical thinking will be tested.

The only drawback of my resignation from my post, if there would be any, is the insurance coverage that I have lost. I know that there is always affordable life insurance around but still, my faith is stronger than ever and I know that God would be my shield against any danger in this world. He knows that my heart beats for something else and the pulsation of this reality has been trying to escape my chest for the longest.
I have my mindset. I have my dreams. I have my desire. I had to breakaway.

It was the moment of truth. Last week’s exam had no bearing because it was a mere pre-test. But this one is different. We had to put our best foot forward as this would determine our future in this institution.
While it was pretty hard for me to memorize all the formulas for the drug computation, I think I slipped it through, otherwise, I would have to retake the exam with the pharmacology department and it would be harder.
God help me.

We just had our exam and I had trouble answering the pharmacology part. I was tempted to cheat during the exam but I chose not to. I just told myself to do better next week.
I feel to tired neuroligically.

I am unable to control my voracious appetite and good thing about the apprenticeship program is that it requires glucose overload in order for my brain to function. This way I do not have to think about apidexin as an altertative to losing some pounds. The training is a bit intensive that it requires more than basic analytical thinking as we are about to deal with people who are having heart conditions. Not only the program will prepare us in becoming staff nurses at the PHC but our licenses are in line whenever we handle patients.

Part of the requirement for my apprenticeship program is the chest x-ray to ensure that none of us has a communicable disease. Although I have gotten mine about 2 months ago, I decided to have the test to ensure that I have not contracted any lung disorder when I was at the Lung Center of the Philippines.
After three days, I have gotten the result of my x-ray and I am pleasantly surprised to see that I have normal findings. After being exposed to pathogens, I only have God to thank for keeping me safe.

It was our first day of apprenticeship and we were asked to be at the hoospital before 8:00 am.
I was anxious to see who will be with me in this batch. We were sent to the lobby for the raising of the Philippine flag. I completely forgot. The hospital is a government institution and flag ceremony is a mandatory thing among goverment agencies.
My last time of attendance to a flag ceremony was in college and I used to elude it because I had 8:00 am class.
Anyway, during the orientation, there were about 12 apprentices who were summoned to undergo the probationary stage and they have just started their apprenticeship three weeks ago.
It’s a good thing! This means that here would be a chance for us to take a step higher anytime within the program.
It was a long day and yet I still had the energy to meet up with former groupmates at the LCP.
I am looking forward to the next training day.

My prayer has been answered. My resignation was signed by my manager before he left at around 9 p.m. last night right after the chaos in the office has been resolved.
It is my last scheduled rest day today and usually, I am up and about running errands during my off. This time was different. I stayed in bed the whole day as if there was no tomorrow. I slept like a baby.
I feel worry free about where by big decision in life would bring me. There were things that need to be considered before I tendered my resignation and it is mostly financially. But these never crossed my mind when I made my decision. I prayed and I have longed for this day to happen. For all its worth, I am really happy and I do not worry about my future because I asked God to guide me all way through it.
I thank Him for giving me the chance to breakaway.

Desperate to find cure for my most feared side effect of steroids, I have spent the whole night surfing the internet. There are tons and tons of acne products out there making promises of zapping even the most stubborn zit on the surface of one’s body. I am now in limbo deciding which one is the best for me. More choices means more worries. I hope my fingers would lead me to the right one

Since my doctor has doubled has my steroids dose, yet again, I began to eat voraciously. Good thing I am able to contain by craving for food but on the gray side, zits are starting to pop on my face and body. This thing I have no control over. I am looking for the best acne treatment to make me pimple free.
