Inclusive dates: August 12, 2009 August 19, 2009 August 26, 2009 August 02, 2009 Content/Learning: On our first day in Milagros District Hospital in Cabagan, Isabela I felt so excited and nervous. I really love to have our duty in MDH because our classmates told us that we will enjoy there because there are lots of patients in the morning. When we arrived at MDH, we had first our orientation. Ma’am Sheena oriented us about the hospital protocol and some rules and regulations. First, she discussed about the OPD and how it works and also what are the things we should remember when we are in the OPD area. She showed us an example of admission slip of the hospital. Then she discussed the requirement for the last day of duty which is case presentation. During our duty, I found out that there were differences between hospitals were we had been through. There were some professional nurses that are kind to their patients and some are not. I observed many things and practices that are different with the lessons that we discussed in school. Like for example, the proper way of getting the V/S of the patients. We had many patients in MDH compared to Clinica de Leon. During our duty in OPD, that’s the only time that I realized how toxic my chosen profession is. We were all tired and hungry. But I enjoyed our first day because our C.I is not as strict and toxic as our previous C.Is. Same with 2nd day and 3rd day, we handled many patients in the morning and in the afternoon we had our sharing of experiences. We had a very good bonding with our C.I (honestly speaking she’s the best C.I). During our 4th day in MDH, we had our case presentation. We didn’t have our duty in the OPD because our case presentation will be the whole cover of the 8 hour duty. The first group who presented their case was bombarded with lots of questions. Some of our questions were not answered by them. One of my classmates got mad because she told me she was not prepared for that day. After having our lunch, it’s our time to present our case. It’s about H-mole or hydatidiform mole. We were lucky because they didn’t ask many questions. We felt relieved after our case presentation. During the entire duty in MDH, I accomplished something that I thought I could never do. I applied my knowledge and skills about nursing care in a hospital setting. I gained more self confidence and I know now that I can be as good as a nurse as long as I put my heart in what I do. I learned to love my course.
