Although I admit that I’m a novice in my chosen professional, I won’t stay on this level. Last night I was challenged by a doctor who keeps belittling me. In front of my seniors, he asked me to do an IV insertion. But before that 2 nights before, he already nagged me about that topic because I chose not to initiate IV lines on children. This time I’ve shown him that just like everybody else I can do IV insertion in just one try.
I felt good in behalf of all volunteer nurses. I can’t deny t the fact that we are still weak on that skill, but I wanted to show those doctors as well as with experienced nurses that we are also equipped with skills but just needed a little push.
I thought I won’t gonna make it but look, I’ve made it through 2 consecutive months (almost). I know that God had held me into his arms on my way here. Everyday has become a learning session for me. I wanted to learn more. I wanted to know more things so I can help people especially those unfortunate ones. I don’t want to settle for paper works and theories. I wanted to actually do something to help afflicted people. I may be realizing this thoughts late but I’ve got so much time to spend on this act. It won’t be wasted.
I’ve been two months away from my family. The first few weeks was a total adjustment. I can’t believe I cried during those periods. When I thought I can live independently. I miss my mom, her nagging, her long repeatedly speeches, her complaints, her calculations and stuffs about her loans. Yeah, I miss them but I don’t one to deal with them, I get stress when I hear them. It’s much better to just reminisce those moments. With my siblings, I don’t really miss them much, that’s because I’m not close to most of them. I miss watching watching movies and korean novelas. I was then addicted to koreans but I guess I’m not now. I’ve got more essential things to watch than those leisures but I can’t promise I’ll quit watching those flicks.
Inspiration? Well, I got few crushes on the hospital. They are not totally hot but they have traits I admire as nurses. I guess I’m don’t really admire them rather I wanted to get through them, skill wise. It’s not a big deal I just wanted to create a goal for me.
The weather here is perfect. I seldom sweat unlike in Pampanga. I can tolerate the noise here. Love the people and their accent. Tagalog accent is so sweet, Kapampangan accent sounds rude. It’s easy to deal with people with such a sweet accent.
