Finally!

I was able to complete my IV therapy cases: 6 IV insertion, 6 IV medications incorporation and 2 blood transfusion.

Ssshhh, I was scheduled to have my completetion on January 8 to 10 but I was informed that I could show up at the hospital even if I was not scheduled. I aked permission though from the hospital's training department and they gave me a nod. So I went there on my offs at the office and after 2 tiring days of running from one nurse's station (about 6 each floor) on all 6 floors, I was able to finish it. I'm imagining interns on Grey's Anatomy trying to get ahead of each other in getting a good case. It was like that.

This afternoon, I was able to pass my completion form at ANSAP and in 2 months, I could get my IV card already.

Hurray!

Soon to be certified

Yesterday was the last day of my intravenous therapy training. 

It was the day of return demonstration where you we actually performed five different IV procedures infront of preceptors from setting up an IV line, IV insertion, total parenteral nutrition (both central and peripheral lines), blood transufions on dummy and actual IV insertion on your partner. 

They had to make us feel how it is to be inserted with an IV. Duh?!

I made it through. I just have to be back on January 8 to 10 with my partner to complete our actual cases as required by the registration body. We shall be on duty in this military hospital to actually perform what we have learned before we could get our license.

I am excited that I decided to just stay at home the whole day today. I cooked Spanish sardines pasta and made an iced tea.

A sense of fulfillment not just an ethos

After graduation, I told myself that I will just work for a couple of years then I will be getting a master’s degree in business and management.

It’s been half a decade already and I just smiled thinking that I did not get a continuing education but I got myself another degree this time in health and science. I was able to do regular schooling in the morning and to perform my fulltime job in the evening for three years. Whew!

Since it’s over and I am already licensed to practice my profession here in my county, I am thinking of pursuing my original plan that is getting an MBA degree. Of course, I could not still let go of my fulltime office job since it’s my bread and butter so I need to consider a reputable institution that will entertain full time employee like me.

I am glad that education institutions are giving attention to the demand of full time or part time professionals who still want to pursue their master’s degrees.

Part-time, evening program are now designed for students who wish to work full time while pursuing their degree. This program is I think way relaxed than the one I used to do finishing my second bachelor’s degree.

So, say hello to my MBA , a fulfillment not just an ethos.

More than just anatomy

Ever wondered why the graduation is called commencement exercises? It’s because the end of your elementary, highschool or college life will open new opportunities for you.
So when I got my second college degree, which is nursing by the way, I began thinking what do I want next? Of course I want continuing education and get into medical career training. Getting certificates or additional diploma in medical training will ensure anyone of better medical careers. You see it’s more than just anatomy, it’s a medical career and I must start my research stat.
