1 more week left..
I gonna go back to reality. wearing scrub suit standing in 9b, doin the routine work.
I have lost touch for 8 mths.
time flies..

I am excited, at the same time scared to go back.
Excited cos I am back to do wad i wan to
Scared cos many things have changed, higher expectation n add on responsibility.
student life was good.
but i dun like exam..
anyway, it's all over. n result gonna be out on 6/7/2010
worry abt psychosocial result. Haslinda said u all shld know where u stand.

I love this course. This is my interest.
I love to interact with my patient, listen to their problem.
being in HD and PD for almost 1 mth, I have learnt a lot.
being able to start HD on Pt, is a kind of achievement for me.
this including the monitoring during dialysis, till the conclusion.
It's not as easy as wad we tink.
I've always admire the HD nurses. I tink they r great!
same goes for PD, eventhough PD is much easier than HD, it involves lots of interaction, educating, listening ears.
not only care abt the pt, but also their families n financial issue.

I learnt to know from 1 pt tt she used to be a non compliant pt.
she used to skip dialysis.
the reason for being non compliant is bcos she has financial issue. did any of us ever wonder why r they not compliant? some of us straight away jumped to the conclusion tt they dont cherish their life, they r difficult pt n no point to pity / care abt them.

another pt shared abt his story regarding medication compliance.
they wan to be compliant to meds taking. but there r so many meds..
it taste awful, ca acetate taste like chalk.
n i tink they r not aware of the importance of meds taking. we need to let them know if they dun comply to meds taking, the dr will add on more meds. cos Dr dun know tt they skip meds.

there r really non compliant pts out there.
but i tink we need to explore n understand why they behave tt way. maybe they r too depressed?

I learnt lots from this course. Gain quite a lot of experience.
able to assist TRUS biopsy, flexible cystoscopy, male catheterization, fill n pull, removal of DJ stent. I maynot remember how to do it anymore in few yrs time.
but i am glad, i had a chance to assist these procedure.

thanks to those who have taught me, encourage me n those who had given me a chance to do so. thank you very much.
though, i have grumbled abt the packed timetable, assignment after assignment, presentation after presentation, i really love this course.

I got to know many frens from diff hospital, diff characters n even went on my first holiday with them. U guys r great!

n I have this fren who wants to be close to me within few mths. I am sorry i have ignored and avoided u.
many more things happened during this period.

I have survived. I will not forget those who msg me on my first day of sch. I was nervous, each of ur msg, gave me support.

I have not regretted the choice tt i have made last yr.
thank God!
