Lost

Hello, World! I'm finally back to the blogging world. Apparently, the site went down for a couple of days. I wasn't able to retrieve the entries I posted for the month of August and September which explains my entry's title for today. Sigh. When will I ever learn?

Anyway, this month has been really busy for me. So many stuff to do at school, work and online job. I really lack sleep and I can't wait for this month to end so I can finally be stress-free temporarily. I still haven't decided yet if I will take the comprehensive exam next month for thesis. As you all know, I only have one semester left (if my thesis is that really good). The thing is, I still don't have a god concept for my thesis yet. I want it something related to stroke because I really like this topic and besides, I work in a medical ward where we have stroke patients most of the time.

Since we're talking about my MA life. I just want to share one incident with you. I remember what the chief nurse of FEU hospital told us during our practicum's orientation. Just because we are MA students, doesn't mean we know everything. I realized that her statement is really true when I made a mistake during my duty. I thought that if there's an insulin written on the standing order, you can administer it without referring the latest blood sugar level to the doctor. Little did I know, doctors can change the standing order of the patient's insulin after getting the latest result. Argh. Thank God, nothing serious happened to the patient. I realized that if I am not really sure about what I am doing, I should not hesitate to ask. Actually, I always ask the staff nurses when I am in doubt. It's just that during that time I thought I was doing the right thing.

That's the reason why I don't really brag about my MA degree because I still don't know everything in the hospital. I don't really tell people around that I am an MA student because I don't want them to think that I know a lot and I don't want them to expect a lot from me as well. Because even if I am one degree ahead of the staff nurses, I still have a lot to learn in the next days, months and years to come.
