just thinkin.

someone told NC, she wants to change dept.
that someone said, i am too competitive.
am i?

ok lar. i'll be honest.
i feel she's too slow
too blur
too unsure of her work.
it makes me wonder, how on earth did she pass PRCP.
but, that's not up to me to decide.

i happen to be a little more sure about my work.
thou comments given to me is, "joyce, u are to quiet"
( thou i think noone here agrees! )
but comes to work, n the care to my patient.
i feel i am rendering them my best.

i'm a little shocked to hear that.
NC asked me to be more patient.
after all she is not used to the environment here,
she have only been in this hosp for PRCP, n now.
i don even talk to her.
we're posted to different areas everyday, hardly meet unless one of the NC wanna talk to us

容忍。耐心。包容。

i wanna thank my 外婆 (阿妈)

谢谢你从小就教我方言。在这一行, 能多懂一个语言就是一种优势。尤其是少数年轻人会说的方言。但,我拥有了这个优势。能够与公公婆婆们有效的勾通,成为了我独特的特征。

明明之中, 就好像已经有人为我安排了一切。 从小时候的语言发展,到对医学产生兴趣,成绩烂到不知道可以进哪间学校,O' 水准17分的奇迹,挨三年的大专,最后步入社会,成为一位护士。

突然觉得人的生命就如一本小说。作者是创造者(我所信仰的天神),小说的主角是我。


我还是相信,我回幸福的。一定要幸福。

first week of A&E.

haha..
like what eugene says, "u are adapting to the A&E style ar, everythin also quick quick fast fast. "

cause i've completed half of my competency checklist alr. hahaha

what to do.
in observation ma.
got alot of chance o do such things.
PLENTY! i feel like a vampire. hahaha..sucking people's blood.
opps. maybe i really am one.

guess what?
NC Koh said i am quiet! very quiet! hahaahhaa..
thou i think alot of people will potest.
wait till i do triage.
my voice will ring until qi ji.
hahha..

quite an eventful week.
am v tired.
went for massage n had a good sleep in the afternoon.

met up with ping n michelle last night (FINALLY! )
slack at kovan.
ah ping's favourite place. haha
slacking ia a good activity to do when u need to destress.

A&E isnt exactly the best place to pass out in.
there are more SSN than SN.
even the NC warns us about politics.
how fantestic.


我以经尝试解开你对我的不满。
我尽力了, 道歉了。
接下来的, 就看你自己了。

its friday! its alr week 4 of the orientation. the training centre has became my second home. i think i spend like half my time there everyday.

coming out frm poly
a change of uniform overnight from a student nurse to staff nurse
brought about excitement, and fear.

yet under the care of AgNE Eugene, NE Xu Ping, SCI Sarah, the training centre became a protected place.
we were still like students
hanging ard
playing ard, singing n dancing during breaks
doing the kinda things a typical student would be doing during lectures
we were sheltered by them
就像温室里的小花

and now, again
overnight there will be a change of uniform.
for a few of us, its frm uniform to scrubs
a new responsibility
a new environment
a new chapter of our lives begins here.

was chatting to SCI Sarah
about uniforms n attire, appearance n all.
she shared her past with me
her experiences
n she said this

" u can still choose to "rebel", have ur hair colored n bright streats, short skirt, tight uniform, refuse to bun ur hair. have colored hair to look pretty, when u can have black hair n still look pretty. but end of the day, when it comes to promotion n ur chance is overlooked because of your appearance, personal grooming. don sulk when u don get it. because u are the one who chose it"

hwa. revelation seh.
惶然大悟
i dowan to be an ah lian.
i want the promotion.
both she n eugene are the best example.
it took them 5 yrs
to then again change their white uniform to blue
i want 7yrs
to change from white to blue then to white again with the orange stripe.

this is my goal.

未来的路还远的很

Friday, May 01, 2009
i passed my IVAM! but that's theory la..i passed one our of the 4 skills alr. left 3 more skills not assessed yet.

Due to INFLUENZA A- H1N1, also known as swine flu, mask fitting takes place in the auditorium everyday! we have no place but to sit at the foyer. tat also means there's lesser venues to set up exam stations. that's why its super slow.

we're into orange alert now. preparing to go into red alert soon.

orange alert means

Healthcare Institutions

Temperature screening and screening for flu like symptoms for visitors to clinical care areas would be implemented

Hospital staff are required to don PPE in all areas with patient contact

The number of visitors would also be restricted to one visitor per patient. This will help facilitate contact tracing and will reduce potential exposure of the Influenza A (H1N1-2009) virus.

and here's something for all of you

Practise good personal hygiene and be socially responsible by:
▪ Washing your hands regularly and thoroughly with soap and water, especially before touching your eyes, nose or mouth.
▪ Turning quickly away from anyone near you if you are about to cough or sneeze, and do not cough or sneeze at him.
▪ Covering your nose and mouth with a tissue when coughing or sneezing. Dispose of the tissue properly in the dust bin after use.
▪ Avoiding crowded places if you are unwell and wear a surgical mask to cover your nose and mouth.
▪ Staying home from work or school when you are sick.
▪ Using a serving spoon when sharing food at meal times.
▪ Seeing your family doctor if you are feeling unwell.
Also, leading a healthy lifestyle helps to build up your immunity and protects you against infection.
▪ Eat a balanced diet, including plenty of fruit and vegetables.
▪ Be active. Do 30 minutes of physical activity at least 5 days a week.
▪ Learn to relax and have enough sleep and rest.
▪ Do not smoke.



Goodbye.
