CDC attachment

CDC attachment has ended. Finally. It was tiring to be going there from Jurong. Had to walk to lakeside, then take the train, drop at novena and then walk all over again to CDC. Havent even reach the hospital i felt tired oredi. People said the place was boring and sad. But my ward proved otherwise. I was super duper busy with Hariz being my partner. Anand got a different shift. And hes all alone. hahah.

Both were fun to have attachment with. But what made me love the ward was the attitude of the workers there. Most staff nurses were helpful and ANs really appreciated our help. The thing I regretted was I wished i could settle my staff nurse job before the ANs job. It was tiring, and we did learn some skills along the way. So i can say it was a fruitful time. And this CDC posting also showed one thing. I suck at communication skills. TOTALLY. I can be a horse and work non stop everyday, but if i dun satisfy the boss's requirement, ill still be damned. I dunno what I did wrong when CF said I wasnt proactive and my knowledge is limited during the interview. Based on that I got a fucked up grade, as usual. Hahah..If i wasnt proactive, I wouldnt have write down all the indications and precautions for all the meds that served there. If i wasnt proactive, i wouldnt have change my pathophysiology for my case study to using simpler terms to make her understand better, instead of just photocopying straight from the internet. Yeah, kinda insulted that she thought I rip it off from Wikipedia. LOL!!! She certainly noes how to joke. As for my knowledge, i really dunno lah. I tot I did enough, but it ws obviously not enough. She said my long pauses before answering her questions showed that I wasnt knowledgeble enough, that i should read up more and hence can produce faster answer. She could have jus said I shd change my style of answering and not question my knowledge. At the end of the day, it is how u potray myself. Cant blame her. This is a fact of life. People see the outside. And she thought me being mischieveous in front of her means i brought that into the ward. Sian lah. Ill be serious next time lah. Present myself better next time. Hah. Knowing me ill just stick to my old self. hoho.

The nurses were friendly. Some looked suspiciously hypocritical. But i dun care as long as they are nice. I prefer the HCAs and ANs more though. I could click with them. And they were very helpful. Thats y i dun mind spilling my sweat for them. Lead by example. Thts the word. From what i see from some of the staff nurses, they only noe how to carry sister's breasts and balls but no work was done. And still got complimented by the sister. Amazing. How I wish I could master that. So everything else was gud. Except for my marks. hahah..Damn, I could still remember the scene on the last day whenCF jus barged into the ward and talk to us and questioned our attitude. Totally unfair.
