WHassup

Sunday, November 27th, 2005

So, many many weeks passed. So many things happened that I can’t even remember them all.
What I do remember most currently is that my results came out a few days ago.

Darn it! I failed my psychology! Darn it! I have to go for a make-up lesson.
I keep analysing or ‘reflecting’ (nicer sounding) on what went wrong.
40% is meant for our group presentation and, I know for sure we barely passed that one since it was disaster.
60% was to come from the test itself. Well, what is my defence for not achieving even half of that to simply pass the blardy module? Well, let’s see-that particular week I had 4 presentations, a sociology test and a psychology test. Guess which had to be bumped off? Only idiotic thing is that now, I have to attend remedial classes!! Retake the blardy test! On top of all these, I am still on clinical attachment!! Argh!

What about my attachment?
The first week was really ‘eventful’ meaning, it was shitty and was indeed and eye-opening experience of how an A and B1 ward nurse works. I’ll stick to private hospital anytime. I actually wrote an article to the hospital in question, raising certain issues with the Director. Now I’ll just sit back and wait for a response.
The second week was better, was posted to the central ward. It was such a vast improvement! The staff nurses were so much better and the patient interaction were much more promising. The only blob on this week was THAT certain someone who has been causing problems in my subgroup, was also posted with me in the same ward. Fantastic…not.

That person (whom I’ll address as KG) actually went around sucking up and carrying favours, putting on the ‘hardworking and overworked’ student nurse act What an arse. Then she dug her nails deeper into the pie by adding ‘incriminating’, and absolutely ‘fictitious’ remarks like ,"how can all the students disappear at the same time?!" to the staff nurses. WHat did she hope to aim or what was she intending to imply? These are just some of her hypocrisy which, should not make me feel as mad as the way she treats the patients. She is the smiling buddha in front of them but the moment she turns away, she has that arse face that she always make when she does not get her way. I really feel like wiping that blardy face off.

Oh man, I feel so bitter.

My week ended even more bitter when I found out that a patient that I have connected with was to be left off the life support system to die becuase his family thought it best. I felt it was unfair because I believed that the patient deserved better, but, again….it is not my place to say.

This week has left me wanting to pursue geriatic nursing because I believe better treatment and care is necessary for our aging population.
