My stay last week in the bloodbank, when I had my three days and two nights straight duty, would have been less cheerful if I didn’t get to know Juan Paolo Sanchez.[READ MORE]
On Friendship and Misa de Gallo
December 16, 2008
I spent another graveyard shift last night at the blood bank. I was with Kathleen RN, Mary, Mark RN and Kim. The group, together with some volunteers who did not attend their duty last night, became close friends because of these nightly shifts. Initially, they have been unintentionally scheduled together until finally[READ MORE]
Volunteer on Duty
December 14, 2008
A certificate of completion is given to every volunteer who finishes at least 100 hours of duty in the blood bank. Since a.) I was always absent or b.) 2 hours late for my scheduled time of duty because I was just sneaking under my father’s nose (he didn’t allow me to volunteer), and c.)I opted to be absent on November and October to prepare for my board examination, and d.) if ever I attend the duty I’d be 2 hours late, I was not able to complete the required 100 hours duty in the blood bank.

Result of November 2008 Nursing Board Exam
December 2, 2008

THE NIGHT BEFORE THE BOARD EXAM:
I tried to sleep at about 10 pm but I woke up at 12 midnight. My feet suddenly felt restless and I just couldn’t bring my self back to sleep again. My sisters felt my chest and I was palpitating. I stood up and did some exercises and jogged around the room. But it was no use. I ate the leftover from the previous dinner. I wanted to peruse my notes again but I was just too apprehensive to focus. I tried to sleep and was able to do so at 2 AM but all I dreamed about was I was sleeping and waking up to pee. I thought it was for real that I was really waking up every five minutes to visit the bathroom until my sister’s alarm rang and I realized that I was just dreaming. [READ MORE]
