Pack One, Pack All

How interesting it is to note that when I arrived from work this morning, most of the OR staff and trainees have flu. It's not only me! Haha! We jokingly says that there's a virus in our unit which has infected most of us.

And mind you, it's not easy to get sick when you are working, right? Especially if we are assisting in operation cases. Good thing it's holiday today and there are only 2 minor cases scheduled today. I hope whatever virus we have, it should be eradicated. Toinks!

Switching to Electronic Cigarette...

We all know the dangers of smoking and 2nd hand smoke. I for one gets irritated with smoke. I can't help but wonder why some people likes to smoke a lot when all you ever get from that is smoke, nicotine and carcinogens. Plus the smelly clothes you get from it. I think it's unhygienic. It also is a challenge for smoking population to quit their habit of smoking. It entails great self determintation and control to quit from it. But learning about electronic cigarette seems like promising. I think if you want to quit from smoking you have to slowly kick that habit out of your system and using electronic cigarettes will help you with that without harming your health.

I Think This Year's My Worst Year...

Year of the ox seems to be the worst year of my life. Following the break up, been sick several times this year. And I hate the feeling of getting sick. Now I'm suffering from recurrent flu and got 38.1 degrees Celsius temperature. Hays. The hot feeling and at the same time the chills really bugs me. And because of this, I can't get to sugbonding with my friends tonight. Crap!

Paracetamol only gave me temporary relief but I'm still hoping I'll get well ASAP!. Don't wanna be absent for tomorrow's duty. Seems like my body's stressed out from work and at the same time with the weather changes we have right now. Even Vitamin C's not helping.

Roadside Assistance...

We never know when and how we need roadside assistance. In the United States, RVs are common and when in the middle of the road your vehicle needs some assistance, you can avail of rv towing. That's kinda convenient, right?! Especially if you lack skills in auto maintenance. It's also available to any vehicles not just RVs. I hope one of you have any RV towing numbers in case you needed one.

We Need to Cleanse Our Colons...

As an OR trainee nurse, I am mostly assigned in the endoscopy unit. I help the nurse on duty assist in endoscopic procedures such as UGI series and Colonoscopy to name a few. With colonoscopy, a scope is being inserted in your anus while you are sedated. This is a diagnostic procedure to look for any unusualities inside your colon. There I witnessed how our feces forms in the walls of our intestines. And so I realized that it is really important for us to cleanse our colon. I know there are a lot of ways on how to cleanse it, such as enemas. We can find several colon cleanser reviews online to check what suits us best.

Christmas Invitations...

Christmas is fast approaching and our unit is already planning on our Christmas party. This is the first time I will be taking part in a Christmas party in the hospital. And I'm excited for that. As early as now, our department is giving away Christmas invitations for surgeons, anesthesiologists and other guests. I was even task to make the invitation letter. I'm so looking forward for our Christmas party!!

ORNAP Convention

Just got home from ORNAP convention Davao Chapter. ORNAP stands for Operating Room Nurses Association of the Philippines. This is the very first time I particpated in their convention and I was glad I did. There are a lot of freebies from different companies. Of course the foods served were scrumptious and the speeches of the different speakers were enlightening and encouraging. I do hope that next time I could participate again.
