bloom where you are planted

4 weeks of clinical placement finally over!!! *woot!!!* I don't know how i survived. But i do know this placement was a much more pleasant one due to the kind nurses who took us under their wing. :) I got a good evaluation from my clinical instructor. According to her, she gave me a very high mark. I don't know really. But through the reviews from the 3 instructors i had for the last 4 weeks, i'm really crossing my fingers that i do at least decently ok for this darned 15 credit module. 15 fucking credits that can either make or break my GPA.

I forgot to mention that yesterday, we had a chance to see an aborted foetus that was 5 months old. Of course i got out of the room as quickly as i could- couldn't bring myself to see it. I'd rather see ghosts than see an aborted foetus- i think i'd cry. :( Talked to my instructor about how she deals with this because she's also a Catholic. Oh well. Seems like if i want to avoid this, i have to avoid O&G altogether! I don't like O&G anyways. *hmph*

Alrighty. Next placement no longer in isolation ward. Changed to oncology again!!! Right opposite to our previous oncology ward!!! Ok maybe it's a sign that i should specialise in oncology next time!!! ;)

Right now, it's time to start mugging for exams. All i want this sem is to get as many As/distinctions as possible. I need to pull up my freaking pathetic GPA. YOU CAN DO IT STEPH!



I honestly do not know how our instructors grade us!!! I feel like i don't do enough for them to evaluate me, so i really don't think i deserve to get such 'good' evaluations. But at the same time, i'm damn grateful to the instructors who gave me good evaluations and marks. They have no idea how much difference it makes to me, as a student, and as a nurse-to-be! I hope i can improve even more, and hopefully be able to redeem myself and my GPA, and get the chance for the overseas attachment and diploma with merit. But that's like still awhile to go. So i still have more time to work on it, and prove myself to be worthy. :)
