Life skill course for nurses

wow... i enjoyed myself despite the stress involved. you see, we need to sit for a theroy and practical test at the end of the course thus the stress. the amount of stuff that i learnt is however far greater than the stress involved! no doubt it was just a refresher course for what i had learnt in my final year as a nursing student, it was in greater detail! afterall my last months as a student nurses was more of a relax, fun-loving mood since we all knew that part of the teaching is not directly involve in our passing grade. =)

yet now as a real staff on the ground, i realised the importance of knowing the right thing and doing the right thing at the right time. it become increasing important to know when to pronounce a person BYE-BYE at least (since my ward is usually not very action intensed place).

after the course i learnt how to read the EGC slip, what drugs to give and how, when to defib a person and how much and the greatest fun was how to intubate a person! although we will be doing none of the above in our actual ward, who knows?! maybe 1 day, it will come a time when nurses will be given the power and autonomy to function in that role when there is a delay in the medical team response? or maybe i may be recurited into a code team? =)

i love learning new things and it seems that if i transfer to A&E and ICU these will be part and parcel of the everyday work. =) would i consider doing so? hmm... i don't think so for the time being but i am REALLY looking forward to my advance dip in med-surg. if i am rejected, i will be REALLY REALLY upset. =( and if that really happens, i can't say for sure what i will do in reaction to that news. cuz from my point of view, i do have a rather positive track-record but of cuz there will always be people out there which are clever and longer in service than me that deserve the placement more than me. =(

2009 the year of abundant living

that is the statement made by my church pastor. a promise from GOd for His children- that His children will not be in wants, for He will supply all that we needs. =)

recently, we got food and more food from our clients. heehee... even if they meant "aiyo, buy so much also can't finish" i gladly take it with gee. 1st of we had a box of chocolate then fruits then birdnest (wow!) and then nasi lemak. its so nice of them to feed me since i am really trying to cut back on all my expenses. =)

hopefully the next thing we receive are taxi-coupons so i can ride taxi for free! hehee... =)

disappointed

the 'young kids' nowadays don't have a heart i think. they just do things so that they can be done with it. don't care about anything at all. things finish using just leave there, waiting for who to clear? clearly cutting - this is my job that is your job, even if pple urge them to help, can say "wait lah, that is JSDK's job" that is how quality deteriorates. diff pple, diff style. i can't imagine how it will be like in 3 yrs time, if these young kids become "mummy" and teach their "daughters" the wrong stuff. =(

in a sadist way, i am semi-excited to leave this place. either via education, transfer other places. =)

art of phrasing ur words

XX asked me if i would like to have lunch with YZD and as a matter of fact, i can't and thus i said sorry i can't. then a few minutes later someone (JJ) came up to me and ask if i will be going to the lunch and the way JJ put it makes me want to laugh. here is the conversation:

JJ: Esther are you going for the lunch?
Est: no.
JJ: but YZD ask (call u-in mandarin) you go leh.
Est (thinks i am too sensitive): wow... she call me, i must go meh? i got plans lar.
JJ: then i think i don't want to go too.
Est: orh... up to you lor. its a free country. anyway you are YZD favourite now. YZD wants to groom u.
(converstation continue... just another hi-bye, fyi sort of talk. nothing deep)

haha... i think i am really seriously considering the purpose of joining this Tmasterclub thing. Yes to public speaking but no to the true art of speaking? hehee... people that i seems to know can talk well in public but the choice of words that they use is TOTALLY horrifying. misunderstanding and petty shit araise because of the wrong use of words. =( why don't people realise it? or maybe its just here at my club? =_=??

the other clubs that i been to (only 3 others actually... =P) have a positive, vibrate vibe to it but ours is dead serious and silence is GOLD! that is so ironic isn't it? anyway... i wish more people will join the club and i can be just a member that come and listen for entertainment. no more weird posting!! i love my life as it is.... afterall i think i have figure out there are pebbles and stones more worthy of my pursuing than tiny grains of sand that can hardly fill my jar. no?

rice

who knows there are so many rice strands in the world. rice being the staple of most asians (even the central asians) can be so different in taste and sizes. look careful enough u will see that some rice grains are longers, fats and their texture can be totally different too. what is your favourite? thai's fragrant rice or the unpolished rice from malaysia? maybe its the starchy jap rice? mine? i have yet to taste every single one of the those rice strands so i won't give my verdict. =P

these are products of the BRYANI HOUSE they sell different rices with the standard bryani chicken, mutton or beef. there's turkish, iran's, afaganistan-ish rice. turkish is nice. =)

nice song

the song is good although the lyrics is a bit erhm... selfish?!
