CNU: My Alma Mater

Yes, we complain and cry and attempt to disown it, but deep down, loves, we are graduates of an amazing school. Cebu Normal University, a state university first known for its outstanding training with those majoring in Education, has now cemented, plastered, and bound its name onto the minds and hearts of people nationally by its consistent impressive performance in the widely anticipated annual June Nursing Licensure Examinations.

A Week from Then

I've now officially finished my 5-day long vacation leave. =) And what a way to end it. =p Tady woke me up bright and early at 6am (was still mid-dream by this time so of course, I didn't take kindly to it. Never did like being woken up by others.) to ask if I could work earlier (10am) since one of the staffs in the day shift was absent. As I was already getting bored being stuck at home all week, I just couldn't say "No" (although, I was tempted. Do not underestimate the power of sleepiness. ^^). What stuck to me though was her very...realistic introduction.

"Hon! Mata na diha! Dili ni damgo!", she said.

"Ha?", I replied, already thinking that I was still dreaming.

The Life of a Nurse

The 3rd of September, 2011 and our first day back at 6B.

Somehow, things went really roughly for our first day. As soon as we arrived, hurricane struck. Charts, words, medications, and people were flying around like crazy! We received people who didn't come from our station and it wasn't easy. We had to arrange all of our things, forms and whatnot, on top of caring for the patients. It soon became dusty all around and this did not help my sinus problem. Not one bit. In fact, due to my allergy to dust (hahahhaha), it worsened it. Sneezed, sniffed and coughed my way through the day, thank you very much. =p
