did my interim appraisal (FINALLY) and took 1++ hr to speak to the 'new' head. she spoke abt my quality of work. i no longer argue... cuz i think it serves no purpose

...until....when she brought up the IDC in wrong hole issue...i was STIRRED!! i still think the PM girls had done wrong and it was only right of me to bring it up in my documentation. but 'head' said the whole picture reflect badly on the missy as a whole- regardless of who is right or wrong! i don't like the idea of 'just be'cuz we are the same-missy vs missy- we need to cover each other's ass' cuz what had happened was endangering pt's safety. we had a brief discussion on that- key words involved were: disagree, honey-coat, presumption, too fast to problem solve, SHOULD haves.

on the same issue, i did blog abt her management on the prob. i didn't like the way she said how it could had been avoided- insert another IDC into the other hole?! but after speaking to her and she telling me how SHE would do it... i accept her management if she was the RN but still not on her advice as a NC. key word involved- VE (V.examination) i agreed cuz its the only right thing to do basically on old ladies who had given birth, its certainly less invasive then poking them with cold, hard plastic tubes!

i am officially rejected by my NC for my application to adv dip! darn!!! i am old and do i have lots of time to spend waiting for my turn? 2 yrs experience?!?! what's wrong with 1.5 yrs? that 0.5yr must be an event packed one sia... thus without that 0.5yr i am less of a missy?!

so i am applying to study a deg which should start next yr. it should take abt 2 to 2.5yr depending on the pace i will be taking. which means... i will continue to work in this setting til i am more settled in the new schooling shit then i will SURELY ask for transfer out. after all i must look at the goal i am pressing forward to mah. no offence but i can't stand geron. personally i feel its more depressing than doing onco. =(

while some of my dearest frd are planning to either relax, rest a bit more or even leaving the force; i am planning for more intensive learning for future nursing ambition. NO!!! i am not targeting to be JIEJIE!!! most pple know right? my wish or hope is to work with the under privilege or developing countries. so it will be great if i am either a really power missy learnt in all areas or even better a nurse practitioner. then even without a dr by our side, we can still function well on our own. yes... i want to be an INDEPENDENT missy. =)

only problem with the above ambition... i can gain all the medical know-hows but will i have the 'real' power to do so in answering to my call 100%? hm... *mental note- must start reading the Word, pray and fast more*

just can't simply to agree with the practise of the day shift staff in some areas. =( had i became an outer-circle asshole unhappy with the things pple do? but... got to have standard mah!! without lao DA JIE, we must still maintain standard mah!!

how is the problem? why r most of our pt always resting in bed? nowadays bed-sponging is the most trending thing to do huh? plug site, drip set- not dated?! injection trolley messing = ok? kidney dishes stained with blood, no need to clean/ change then continue with the next pt? pre-d.c checklist up for fun one! - no obtaining of TCU/ feeds/ preparation of HIDS/ presciption the day before also never mind lar...then?! what's the point?! *faint*

my idea? forget abt harping over the fact that pple leave their bags in the MO rm or the rm's side cardboard and focus on the real reason behind nursing. i am all for documenting this and down and trendcare but 1st and foremost the actual nursing work has to be of a right standard. no? *shudder* ... haha... maybe one day... IF i ever be a NC i will be one screaming from room to room barking at my staff to do this and that AND making those that may cause or had already cause pt harm to WRITE MEMOs! hahaha.... hmm.... maybe at that time i will enjoy working in 7X?? cuz i heard that is how the JIEJIE - GEGE run their ward! hahaha... =P

this yr's birthday (already passed) had been rather err.. good? my 1 and only living grandparent decided to pass away on the eve of my birthday. good cuz she ought to rest in peace liao lar...bedsores and mental-strain on how the rest ought to live can be very very tormenting! of cuz there are pple that were really sad cuz they felt they had not done enough for granny. my take? its granny's life and her own battle to face, what could we had done more? stop her from dying? if we all want to lessen our suffering we should never be born but that will means that we would never had enjoy the joy of living! ... life is fair if we see it this way, i think...

oh... then i got presents too. sweet stuff. =) thanks for the donuts, well-wishes, cards, 'Tommy Girl', lotion/shampoo, accessories and all those intangibles. even I gave myself some gifts! =P of all of them, i love my 'Anna-Su' best.

talk abt drooling... i had FINISHED reading "Starter Wife" (book) in less than a week!!! all 400++ pages!! i am amazed at my achievement! hahaha... SAM KNIGHT is so dreamy!! while that LOU is 100% less attractive than the TV series!

but after reading the book, i realised that the TV series is pretty different from the actual book. hmm... i prefer the TV series cuz i think there should be more twist and better build up on the personality of the cast. plus there will be a season 2 so i bet u even if the ending is and will be the same as the book; the journey will be 100% more spiced up! yummy.... but too bad my working schedule means i can't watch the series! anyone willing to help me buy online? i promise to pay!
