the one with his CA

one week of Clinical Attachment (CA) has gone by and i knew i was having fun. disturbing, making jokes and sometimes share stories with the patients. that is if the patient can communicate with u.... coz for those who cant, doing sign language wouldnt help u...

anyway, first day was orientation which was quite good i must say. the clinical educator was quite enthusiastic so that didnt bore us to the death. a tour was a must coz u dun wanna get lost in the 2nd biggest hospital in sg. i dont know which hosp is the biggest but im sure its NOT that BIG coz singapore is so small. anyway, we were assigned to our ward. mine is ward 5D... so for those who know me, feel free to visit me and u can get a free infection of dengue. yeah... free of charge.

4 days of morning shift wasnt that all bad. except that u have to wake up at 5. i mean i usually wake up at 6.30, went out at 7 and reach sch before 8. THIS was an exception coz the shift starts at 7. so woke up at 5, went out at 6 (1 hour for shower and breakfast altogether) and reach TTSH before 7.

rite now, im even feeling great that my life has had some great moments.

im not regretting every moment of it.

btw, there was some great learning... but i knew some of u wouldnt understand the medical terminalogy and the meaning of COPD, and also the consequences of when u handle patients with MRSA without any safety precautions.

unless of course... u're a nurse...

but dun worry, nurses do explain on their work. so make a date and i'll tell u everything. every single thing.

the one with his AAP practical test

seriously, my schmates are getting too paranoid in their revision. got too nervous n develop frustrations towards themselves and others. and yeah, a slightest provocation or disturbance can cause them to growl at u. well, i didnt get any growling but i could sense the heat...

anw, it turns out that the prac test wasnt that difficult. i know and im very sure that anyone can pass the paper. to those who didnt pass, i know u have been missing some important lectures and dun even bother to study for it... yea.. still, exams in 2 weeks time n yessss, i've start my revision.... woah! a major revision of all my modules..

i know i could pass this prac test... it would certainly help me to pass the major exam.. glad that i didnt fail the common test coz i would have to resit the paper which was held today...
while im writing this blog, a fren of mine jus signed in the msn with the nick "STRESS period...!!!". relax lah my fren... N today, i kinda felt relieved after i had finished my presentation of a sch project.

3 PROJECTS does not equal to 3x THE STRESS
