After graduation,now what?!!

Yupp,is not jus my holiday,I have already graduated and ended my attachment since 1st Aug 08.My current plan is to wait for 2-3months before i go out to work.Btw it'll be a 2years bond that i'll be completing,which i kinda dread and yet i need to pray earnestly for favours.Reason that I dread is that i'll miss svc and cg..sigh,therefore i need to pray like never before for favours upon staffs, good scheldule, and a greater strength!!
A revelation that came upon me to fulfill the cultural mandate For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thought of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.
So I believe there must be a purpose in wherever I am placed in, be it school, work, ministry, church, family and friends.
Therefore I am really determine in where God has placed me,even as a nurse in hospital, I'll shine in the area!I hope I'll display a Spirit of excellence and a Good attitude inorder to win people over to Christ.
Last but not least,I think I need an increase passion if I am to go into nursing,to love,care and be committed,cos things may just cause me to be so weary and emotional at times.Like what is written in the Bible:"Even the youths shall faint and be weary, but those who wait on the Lord,shall renew their strength;they shall mount up like wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary,they shall walk and not faint!"
Greater passion in medical area,cause I have a secret desire,to further my studies and strive toward being a doctor!
Haha you think is possible?
But before that let me not think so far yet,let me just build up my foudation well first.

Yeah thanks for my cg, nyp cluster pple, usher ministry, my friends and family being there through my school years.
Glory be to you Jesus!

My learning experiences....

Yoyo a lot of people had asked me why want to be a nurse, what a nurse do...and so on.
Haha during my attachment I've learnt about transfer-in to the ward,such as from main building, discharge planning,Dr's rounds to follow,speech therapist,physiotherapist,occupational therapist,dietician,also known as PT,OT,ST and DT to inform them regarding any follow up.Interesting right?
I have learnt so much more in the hospital that requires endless blogging.Apart from this I still need to be able to answer my lecturer questions,which they'll somehow randomly pick one of the case study that I am handling and shot me afew questions. Most of the time they'll asked me when I am feeling most tired..causing stress level to increase,however i feel this can be a good way to stretch my capacity.
Also got to move fast with the pace of the ward,I am always encouraged to move faster,such as serving medications,I have been taught of good time management and organisation.
Last but not least I feel it is quite a challenge when it comes to passing report, which means to hand over the cases of the patients to the next shift.I felt kinda challenged during the first few wks,but now I have learnt to pass in the important details such as change of next IV,hypocount monitoring and pre-meals to be given,etc..also the things that need follow up on.
Of course learning is a continuous process..so many things I got to take note.


Such a hectic n busy lifestyle,despite all this I feel that like what Pst Derek had preached, is important that everything we do must have a balance!!
And my cgl Zhenn recently shared with me regarding work's life,in everything we do God has it own purpose,all things work together for the good to those who love Him!!So if we find ourselves not in His will,of course He'll by all means bring us out of it.
God is good all the time!!

Busyness, busyness all is...

Hmm BUSY(Being Under Satan's Yoke!)..Sorry guys I need to revive my blog..I don't blog often, but I hope that my blog can be a source of encouragement for the people out there.Kinda simple, but its all my heartfelt message...
My attachment at CDC 2(Communicable disease centre) hasn't been a easy one..that has helped me to me more dependent on Him, when anything happen I'll just say a short prayers..and indeed He has been my comforter, encourager and refuge.
I have been so tired, depressed and affected by certain matters, or at a period felt I was not good enough,overwhelmed by fear and emotions.
He spoke to me...fear not I am with you,do not be afraid I am your God.
Thank God that I still can attend svc and cg,into the presence of God...His warmth embraced me,love of my friends and members covers me.It set me thinking...maybe everything hasn't been too bad!
Cos what I gone thru, is just a shadow of image! The good thing is I believed that I am moulded spiritually and physically(to be more skillful).What I hope is that I am able to share my experiences with others, my nursing skill to help others,which is the 1st and foremost reason for joining nursing..haha bet some of you dunno ba.
I left one more wk in my attachment ward le,I hope you guys out there can keep me in prayers for favors from staffs,sisters and preceptors for good evaluation.
Thanks wo!!

My Nursing attachment at TTSH!

The past 3 weeks i seem to be missing in action!!Where have I been? Ye been busy with attachment at Tan Tock Seng,Gerontology ward.Wow I think I really have grown another step of maturity as i came to be taking care of the patients.Taking case study inorder to have a feel how prcp(3mths attachment) would be like.It has really been a time of moulding and training, and yet His Spirit has always been there guiding me, blessing me with opportunity to learn!
There's a period of time whereby I felt so discouraged, especially i have done one of the nursing assessment badly.However God is good that he sent staff nurse Ash to run through with me the appropriate way to do the assessment.She's been so precise in her teaching and I got a revelation from her!She said:"In everything you do,do it correctly from the beginning then you'll continue to do it right!"Understand the meaning?My cgl Zhen have shared with us these before in her experience of leadership.This means as we have made a mistake from e beginning we will be discouraged,then how are we going to have the spirit to maintain a consistent standard?
Therefore I have learnt, and I am determined to persist for a Spirit of Excellence, being detailed in my patient's assessment,it may be a little thing, but my assessment determine how my patient are goin to be looked after, and in how they are going to get an appropriate treatment, and of course how they can have a quick recovery(destiny)?!!
Indeed God's good,instead of dwelling in condemnation of the mistakes i made, He taught me His ways..,building a nurse with foudation of greater strength, wisdom and love.

All Smiles!!
