~ Orientation Grand Finale ~
9:27:00 pm
Florence, Flora & Me... *I look really shagged!*It's the 13th day of
Ramadhan and a really, really COLD day... *Freezing*... And so far, I have not missed a single day of
Ramadhan yet...
Alhamdulillah...
Anyway, today was our Orientation Grand Finale... Actually, it was nothing GRAND but getting to see all my friends and fellow colleagues was a great feeling... Did a lot of catching up with some of them since we hardly see each other these days... *Sigh*... I just missed those days during our orientation period... How we had lectures after lectures, how we slept during those lectures, how we nudged each other to wake up when Lay Hoon or Pick Fong (our nurse educators) were observing us, how we held our little 'picnic' session in the theatrette, and so on... Looks like our 'honeymoon' period is already over... But what can I say? It's time to move on...
Anyway, back to our Orientation Grand Finale... We had lectures (yes, lectures again) on Patient Safety... Of course it was very important to us... But I wasn't really listening... Almost drifted of to dreamland at one point... *Heh*...
We then had a briefing on SBAR... It's a new method on how you can convince your doctors to come for something urgent... Anyway, we were split into 6 groups to do a case study and I was pointed by Pick Fong to do a 'role play' in which I was the nurse and Pick Fong was the doctor whom I had to convince... *Gasp!*... I was SOOO nervous (partly cuz I have a phobia of speaking into microphones... HONEST!!) that everyone could hear that my voice were really shaky... *Heh*... But at the end of the 'role play', I saw a nod on the ADN's head and got a thumb's up from Lay Hoon... And of course, mostly thanks to Evelyn for the tips... =D
After which we played a little game which required unity, team spirit and co-ordination... 3 groups were joined into one team... Firstly, we had to stand into 3 circles, followed by 2 and then, 1... Of course, 3 was simple, 2 was okay but 1 was tough... That was where our co-ordination came about... We then had to compete with the other team to see who could last the longest within such a small circle... And yeah, our team won!! All thanks to the great coordination and team spirit that we had... *Hee*...
It was then followed by little speeches by our nurse educators... Lots of advices but really meaningful...
Anyway, my thanks to all the nurse educators for sparing time and effort to make our orientation period a fruitful and meaningful one... I honestly learnt a lot during these period... Lay Hoon, Kelvin, Pick Fong, Siew Geok and the rest of them... You guys are the BEST!! May it be a great orientation for those coming batches to come...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Just a simple highlight...
It's really shameful that some Muslims just don't respect the month of
Ramadhan... It's even more shameful when you know those people... I understand if they cannot fast but to eat in public? I dunno... It's all between them and
ALLAH... I shall not say much... *Bows head in disappoinment*...
