Today was my first day of attachment after a month long holidays... and i certainly feel very lazy to go back to work. This time i am attached to AMK Hospital for my Gerontology posting. I am pretty happy cause I like taking care of the elderly (i know its weird... cause the more unlovable ppl find them, the more lovable i find them). This morning when I woke up at 5 i told myself I have to love what I do and be enthusiastic about my job. It might sound that I am consoling myself about going for attachment but i have no choice, isn't it better to be a bit more positive about it!!!
Today I was also feeling a bit sick cause i have "shedding of epithelium of my uterus wall" so I feel totally terrible (those who dunno what I am talking about... nvm...). Its just such a sick feeling... Today was also a good day to meet up lots of friends, i met up with some ppl from my class, verna (that was a surprise!), and some other school mates I had worked with b4. The most of today was spent on orientation in which we had some nursing officer explain on a powerpoint on amk hospital services, then there was a tour around the hospital. After that we went back to our respective wards... Today we didn't do much. I just went around talking to my patients, bringing them to the toilet or changing thrir nappies. I think they seemed quite happy to see me cause most of the nurses there are either indian or Filipinos, and the patients are mostly chinese... So at least I can communicate with them. Just that i feel my dialect isn't too good...
Have not really gotten to the routine and work flow of the hospital yet but my feeling of it is a more close knitted organisation compared to SGH. Hope I can fulfill my dream of becoming a good nurse though I am very blur and forgetful... =)
Since coming back home I have been stuffing myself with water. Its just so dehydrating to work in the wards... I hope it wun affect my complexion ... haha (i sound so vain...)
Today we and Verna came back together after work. She told me i have become stronger since secondary school. Someone who is not afraid to voice out my opinions and will show my feelings about something, cause last time I used to hide it... I am just someone one cannot judge by the cover... But sometimes I feel no matter how strong i become most ppl will not look at what is inside at me, but rather look at what is outside. This world is like that I guess... I can't really change it... Though I am living in it... I dun really have to be part of it...
