Flashback RN Heals 2013

No post for 2013..yes for the entire year. It all started from a text message coming from the HR dept. of East Avenue Medical Center, saying that I need to report for RN Heals Orientation. Before that, I was feeling hopeless that 2013 would be another jobless year for me because I've been passing lots of resumes and other requirements on different hospitals and institutions and yet no one is responding. Going back to the message, after reading it, I was surprised and feel blessed, since I was given a new job just right after the New Year's Day.


Getting Started


I began working on the said institution, after completing all requirements needed, attending lots of orientations, trainings and seminars, and meeting new friends that later became a new family. I was assigned to work at 4 North Male Surgical Ward. Originally we are supposed to be 20 RNH assigned on the said ward but 1 has backed out even the memo has been released, and so we were 19.





And so we began our benign duty handling 3 patients each at first. And as the time goes by, little by little we were assigned to handle 6 then 9 then 12 and maximum of 18. Sometimes duties were toxic but because of the team work, we manage to finish our task on time or few minutes later depending on the gravity of the toxicity in the ward..haha I even experienced finishing all the task 2 hours late due to toxic duty. Anyway that's life, that's what I wanted and that's my passion. naks :)


At East Ave I have gained new friends, new buddies etc, actually all of them were my friends and family as well but I have these 5 friends who became much closer to me and they were all girls and I don't care if I'm just the only guy on the group. anyway even though we have this circle of friends, we still manage to be friends with our co-rn heals and other staff.





Basil Life Support Training


This training was one of the most memorable training I had on East Ave since we were free from attending duties for 2 days, and we had fun, we had bonding and many others. :O





Night Duties


At first I'm kinda excited to be rotated on night duties since time flies so fast on that shift. Body clock has changed, zombie mode alert..hohoho though I also enjoyed being rotated on night duties, because of the bonding and food trips even during or after duties.





Night Outs


PM shift or 2-10 shift is my favorite shift among other shifts. Some reasons were 1st, I have learned to work as fast as I can and finish all the tasks on time, 2nd, even though I did always go home in the midnight, I still manage to complete eight hours of sleep, and lastly the night outs..yeah yeah yeah baby..hahaha Foodtrip after duty, karaoke, celebration etc, that's how we unwind after a toxic or even benign duties. :)





Ordinary Days at the ward and outside the ward


Duties in the ward can either be, toxic or benign. However there's a lot of fun and learning on it.





With my deck mates


I also felt the love and comfort being with my deck mates because of the bonding we had during our duty, the "gala-after" and many others. :)





Birthdays


Birthdays? Oh we love Birthdays.. those were the days celebrating everyone's birthday at homes, at the ward and even outside the hospital. Another way of unwinding after a tiring duty.





The 4 North Babies


Our ward was assigned to host a seminar that is why we prepared dance number for the said seminar, thus 4 North Babies has been created





Christmas Time and our final days


t'is the season to be jolly lalalalalalalalala..haha Christmas season mark our final days on the ward, separation anxiety started building up by that time so we made the most out of it so that the remaining days will be so memorable.





Definitely it was a year to cherish, a year to remember, I am missing them already. Before the drama goes on..hahaha thanks for reading this post of mine.. Have a great day :)
