I miss the time

The first step into A5 is never that happy. With the tough placement in department of medicine during my student years plus some rude treatment by nurses I was quite lost when I was sent to be a Temporary Undergraduate Nursing student (TUNS) in A5 before I was promoted to Registered nurse in a short future.

Yet those doubt and possible fear was all gone with later experience. I was actually stepping into a ward with warm atmosphere where laughs can always happen; I grew already a lot with help from senior nurses - I can still remember how Dorothy and Irene teaching me on urgent EOT and emergency situations while I was just a TUNS. Yes the work load is the heaviest within the hospital, admissions can reach 20 in 7 hours, but all along the working time it's joyful.

What can you expect more, when you learn under warm atmosphere ?

2 Years, and now provided that an vancancy is made in isolation ward, tomorrow is the last day of my so-far medical career in A5. I'll miss the time !

Rotation

Once again I need to rotate to another ward. It'll be the third ward I work in 2009, which means I have to adapt the third working style within a hospital. I think it's pretty shit - normally to adapt it takes at least a year but the circumstance is that I had 3 rotations within 2 years.

If rotation really helps people mature I'll think it's completely silly.
