Learning on the job

I'd like to say I'm getting better at work...

I remember being a student, I'd be at awe with my mentors being able to remember what they're required to do for a handful of patients, through their shift...you'd get the normal routine stuff that needs doing, then doctor's orders, referrals to make, patient's needs/requests to answer, other nurses' asking for help, family wanting their needs/questions to be looked at.

man...as time pass...I'm sure people would develop, I've been working for 3 months now...and looking back, I remember struggling with my drug calculations, not knowing what procedure is required, what the normal is for kids, not knowing what to expect or look out for.

Now, I can do drug calculations on top of my head and get them correct, I can roughly know what to look out for, with some disease/illness, I know what to prepare for different patients, and ask the correct questions, I know who to ask and what to say, I can even understand people much better!

There's still so much more I need and could learn, and everyday I learn at least one thing new at work. Whether it be a new diagnosis, or treatment, or symptom, professional development or social lesson, there will be endless. I'll always continue learning....especially on time management!!! Maybe roller blades would do the trick huh?

It's true...

I'm a killer...

I eat meat....

I LOVE meat!

chicken,
turkey,
beef,
pork,
duck,
fish,
venison,
rabbit,
mutton,
lamb,
you name it...

Red meat especially!



But anyways, I just wanted to say I haven't been and wouldn't be posting much the next few days, cause I've got a report due on Friday,

and I'm only 1/4 done...

Done all my learning plans, but have yet to have them seen. Crappy!!



On the up side, went to Arise Conference, and it was

A.W.E.S.O.M.E!!

great eye opener!

VISION!

Catch the next conference next year, 11th-13th Aug, 2011.

Don't get me wrong, but I love

doing my assignments,
writing up essays,
answering short answers or MCQs...

I LOVE STUDYING.

I won't deny being a nerd....

Since being in Uni, I learnt a new word,

This thing, as fair as it is, it is completely frustrating
when I have the information
but can't blooming find the source of the information.

Had some help from my really brilliant flatmate,
and he lent me a book,
which was every dr's bible.
I'd say mine too!
Nonetheless,
I still require up-to-date literature!!

red square

had my second nite out in welly on Sat.

Happening as ever in town...

As I just finished work at 11pm and made our way to the clubs after the boys had their drinks while we were chatting, it was already 1am.

We tried Rain Bar, but it was so full that only members were allowed in.

So we went to Cayote, which was across the road.

Packed too, but still not suffocatingly jammed up. They're into house music-RnB & feminist songs.

Tried of just swaying to the songs, we tried Red Square. There was a queue, but it was a quick one, braving light showers outside. Songs there were more inclined to techno...so wasn't much fun...

By the time we left, & tried Rain for the 3rd time, it was already 3am ish...thank goodness the shower had stopped & they were letting non members in now...

the crowd was still enjoying their night and the songs were more into HipHop...

went in, & chilled out back, observing and chatting...man...good times...I had to leave as I had to get my rest n work in the afternoon.

Red Square - us wit Vink's newly made strangers (he just danced along with them)

Vink obviously had a tad too much to drink, or maybe not enough to drink....


Yush!! Another successful, enjoyable, sober night! dancing with a scarf is not very cool....ing at all...but thank goodness for it, I suffered a terrible wardrobe melt down even b4 the night started!

answers?

things i've been wondering:

- do nightmares come true?

- why does a 10 ton carpet that just collects dust, dirt and grub, cost $500?

- why do birds tend to poo on my car, even when my car's not under any wires or trees?

- why do berries taste sour?

- why can i imagine better than perform?

- how do u cook bulgogi?

- should I have porridge or bulgogi tomorrow?

- why is home so far away when you need it?

too much pasta...

I think I've got the pasta bug....made a huge batch of pasta earlier in the week, then my other flatmate got carried away and made an even lager batch of pasta, since then I've been having it everyday for both lunch n dinner.. and since last nite, I've been feeling unwell in the head and tummy...and I'm gonna blame the pasta for it... NO MORE PASTA!!



An another note, I went to the gym yesterday! was taught by a gym instructor on how to use the muscle building equipments, and did a 3k run after all that! not bad considering I haven't done much exercise in ages...can't count gym classes as exercise..so from now on, i'll be working out in the gym, instead of working my time around the gym classes. Got another appointment 2mr, to be taught how to use the cardio machine...

Goodness save me...I'm beginning to feel sore all over....



Praying hard I'll be able to get through the night fine, and finish up my paper work required! I've got a report I'm trying to complete by the wkend, 18 goals to write up by next week, and 5 learning objectives to revise by next week, and.......another 3 learning objectives to set for in 2 weeks. How did I manage to get chin deep into my over due paper work....u can so trust on Jace to allow this to happen!! ugh....
