caring for people experiencing surgery is a challenging and gratifying specialty. operations that were once considered last-resort measures are now termed routine, just like appendectomy.

in order to have a smooth sailing operation, the surgical team should coordinate for the welfare (as usual) and safety of person undergoing surgery. and as a member, i should have the quality of what a scrub/circulating student nurse has.

1. no stress, no stress, no stress. yes. this is needed to maintain the sterility of the field. can't connect? review the manifestations of a person experiencing stress. a single drop of your sweat to a sterile field will contaminate it. lucky for you if you wont be caught by your C.I. , or else "miss tadifa, please prepare your IR slip" haha. OA! so guys, be as healthy as possible. all of us must cope with a constant mix of stressful events, from bitter coffee at dawn to unresolved problems at dusk.

2. made from JAPAN is restricted. actually, i "was" made from japan for my first exposure in  OR. haha. gakurog ko bai. as an assistant to the surgeon, you should be quick and alert. you have to clip the suture (daw nylon) into the kelly curve (clamp nga daw gunting) for a matter of seconds. but if your hands tremble and cant shoot it out, better scrub out and never look the nurse on duty if you dont want to see a dragon in white uniform. haha. wooot.

3.initiative. if you want to impress your C.I., take the first steps in any undertaking. this is applicable if you already know the routine of the opearion. taking the lead saves time and the saliva of your C.I. since she doesnt need to command you to do such things,

in 9 days of working in the operating room, there's a possibility that i will have my specialty in assisting the surgeons. woot. nami pa gd tane kung ara ang scrub nurse, c JEFF! haha. rehu pa kami name. nyc one. mkarelate lng ni ang mga grupmatyes koh.

after those duty days in the or, after wearing the ever-comfy scrub suits, i am now suffering wearing my stockings. katol. hmp! go, go, go na sa OB.

more ang periheat, medications and charting.
dugangan pa sang IV regulation, assessments, health teachings.
plus i have two patients. thank GOD, he really guided me through out the duty.
i've managed my time well.
advise ko lng: Prayers really work! promise.

wow. popular na ko sa batch ko yah.

missing daw ako. worse, dedo na!

it was saturday. it rained. ahm. its not only rain, its a storm. mutti told me not to go but i insisted coz knowing wvsu-con, the class is not considered a free day if it will not be declared by the administration. teh nagkdto ko ya sa skul eh. complete uniform with my chn bag and black knapsack. take note: with no umbrella! kundi basa. jangaers gd.

so friends, you need not to worry. im here. yih. d nyo na lng ko gling macontact. la telepono. huhu.

Looking back during high school years, I have this teacher who I admire most. In one glance at her, you wouldn't think that she has that impressing brain because she was not gifted with an impressing height. :)

During our first lecture, I thought that she will be another boring teacher just like what other physics teachers are. But she proved me wrong. I enjoyed her class especially when she give activities like games and mind boggling exercises. She reached my expectations making me like her. She makes learning fun and exciting. She helps us find areas of interest to explore and master. She helps us see new things as stimulating challenges rather than dreaded obstacles.

But one thing that I don't like about her is the way she treat us students. It's just that fairness is not in the air. She only points out her “favorite” students. I believe that teachers should give equal chances to her learners, giving each student the chance to recite so that she could give fair grades. There should be an honest communication between the students and the teacher. Another violation to the “hallmarks” of good teaching that I noted is her unwillingness to commit her error. I know that she's an intellectual mentor but it doesn't mean that she couldn't commit lapses. It's very obvious but, still, pride doesn't want to lose the competition.

But despite all that, I feel proud to be one of her students. I am a part of her, and she was a part of my growth that molded me to be a good student.
