Witnessing a Pedia Operations...

This is the very first time I get to witness and circulate on a pediatric operation. Just this morning, we had a 1 year old baby for an insertion of a venous access implants. This is done for his chemotherapy. In comparison with the operation of the adults, you get to be more fragile in handling pediatric cases. I alos find it very pitiful to look at babies in the operation table. Aww. Nevertheless, the operation was a success. I also got to know this day that pedia patients go into tantrums when they are on NPO. Why wouldn't they? They're hungry! Hehe.

Searching for Sales Job

Back then, I was wondering what made it difficult for job seekers to find a job after graduation. Now I felt like how hard it is. After graduating, I didn't find a job immediately, but rather took all the exams I needed for my profession. After which, did some clinical trainings and tried applying for employment. Unfortunately, it wasn't that easy. The training I had undergone wasn't an assurance of my absorption in the institution. I still have to experience failures and rejections from employers. And every institution has their own training program before applying for employment. No wonder there are a lot of people from my profession sought to seek for a job not related to our careers. For instance, Sales Job in the business arena. Some of us finds it easier to get a job in the business area than the medical field, especially nowadays that you can easily apply online with the help of Sales Job Search.

Soul's Day or Rather...It's Saul's Day


Every year, we usually celebrate the "undas" on the 2nd day of November together with the celebration of my cousin's birthday. His name was derived from All "Soul's" Day and his father's name.

We were all present at my grandfather's grave. This year was special since my godmother from the states, who is very close to our family, well in fact, she's even a part of our family was here to celebrate it with us.

I was also thankful I made it despite of my clinical training. Hence, I was very happy bonding with my family and my relatives.

What my Sunday Felt Like

It was a Sunday yesterday and I had this urge to go to mass. I gave in to the calling but was quite late when I arrived at the church. The priest was already giving his homily and it was about love and marriage. Hmm... Anyways, I went to the mall thereafter to buy some stuffs needed for my duty. One thing that I need is a toothpaste, and so I was scanning over the toothpaste section. My attention was sought when I stumbled on this whitening toothpaste that is an appetite suppressants. I wonder if it does work, do any of you tried one? Was able to buy some good facial scrub and I'm meaning to buy the other lines of the said brand. The ample time I gave to myself that day helped relieves the stress I was having. LOL.

Our First Shifting Duty

I don't know what crossed our head nurse's mind that he gave us a duty off this Friday and asked us to report on duty this Saturday. Initially, we will be reporting on morning duty for the whole month and consider it as our orientation. But I guess, some staff requested for it or perhaps, this Saturday is a toxic day. Still, it was okay and we were happy to have our off this Friday and I will be having my PM duty this Saturday. Weeh!

No Graveyard Shift!!!

During our orientation in O.R. with our head nurse, he informed us that he wouldn't be giving us a graveyard shift. I felt so relieved upon hearing that not only will I get dark circles around my eyes, but as well as avoid possible creepy encounters in the unit. I believe wherever you will be, there will be spooky stories you will hear from the locals, and our unit is no exemption. Nevertheless, it was a good news for me as I was anticipating fear that night shift will give me. LOL.

Car Accidents

Car accidents may be due to car negligence, recklessness, impairments or dangerous road conditions. There are a lot of factors and I think no one ever wants to have a car accident. Most of the cases were accidents, thus unexpected. But when the time comes that we least expect this thing to happen, it's best that we should be ready with our defense. May be in the for of car insurance or lawyer like the Tacoma car accident lawyer that would help us with this problem.
