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.

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.
