tomorrow, being a holiday is no excuse for me to bury myself in books and nursing procedures reviewers.
For the past 9 months, I have been extremely busy with school and each day, pressure rises. The routine is basically the same everyday and it is as if, life should revolve around Kozier, Taylor etc.
Toxicity is a staple word for every second courser in our school, but I tell you it is fun.
Imagine a class of 21 students, all of whom are second coursers, each possessing different traits and intelligence, and all professionals in their own respective careers. There is a registered medical technologist, teachers, electronics and communications engineer, accountants, licensed pharmacist, an interior designer, a HRM grad, businessmen and women and I, a psychologist.
We all enrolled for another course for the very sole reason of finding that exodus towards a better pasture, a greener one, I must say. And when I say a greener pasture, I just do not refer to the financial aspects but also to the other facets of life.
Each day is a struggle as we have to squeeze in to every new concept and strive hard to make all informations get stored into our minds and be able to practice and apply each skill critically from assessment to evaluation and knowledge in every clinical exposure.
We get to deal with different people, from all walks of life and sometimes, patience is tested along with your ability to be stay tough every time you get to see dying and less fortunate patients.
The road towards salvation is not that easy but every moment is precious and demands are too much. Working on a tri-semester schedule with all the workload (not mentioning the things that need to be done at home as we are all married) is scorching.
One needs to work triple hard because you cannot expect the teachers to be teaching you everything as the phasing is so very fast and so, there is a need to read and study in advance.
Anyway, the road maybe hard and pressure filled but it would not last long. What I wish for is for everyone to pass the course and all licensure exams both local and international so we can head on towards that deliverance.
