Hey guys...feels good to wake up late this morning hehehe...had been waking up early for d last two days due to a 2-day course...ALS...Adavanced Life Support...
Not many nurses go for this course....coz doctors and anaesthetists and paramedics go for it as well...so it felt kind of intimidating actually...felt so little and small hehehe...there are some doctors who kinda look at d few of us nurses like as if we dont know anything...i just had to remind myself that they are junior doctors and that I have much more experience in real life settings than they do...so screw some of them!!! LOL
However the organisers/ assessors are very supportive and never at any point of time make u feel small...they are very encouraging....loads to learn..theory and practical tests...gets kinda overwhelming at times...and for someone who can never relax, it was stressing for me...
But enough was enough...I decided to get it done and over with...and was kinda d 1st few people who volunteered to go for the practical test first....and it went well...of all d practices...when it comes down to the test itself...I think I did really well!! hehehe...and I was proud that us 4 nurses passed the practical in one try....and the few ones who had to retest were the doctors!! Go nurses!!
But I was absolutely sure I'd fail d theory coz it was harder than the pre-course test...Again, I shocked myself not only with a pass, but a better score than the pre-course...and during the pre-course test, I actually open the manual book...I was really surprised but proud of myself...
Never look down on yourself Wati and don't let anyone look down on you!! :)
And now I got the certificate which lasts for 4years and I can put dat damn book away!! hehehe
P.S. 6more bloody shifts!!
CIAO!!
