...ewan ko ba...

hay nako

just came from the forums kanina
naging oki naman pero there were heated arguements nga...
The 3 magna cum laudes were all present

ayun...

Gelo delivered a speech that he's not sour graping and that what he is fighting for is that the leakage issue to be cleared up because we are a tainted batch nga etc... That he went all his way here in the phils to study nursing tapus ganun may leakage...

Ma'am Famorca speak up her thoughts that @ first e she was not shocked with the standing 83% kasi nga, we are pasaway, some were not attentive and there was news na people are playing during review nga (alam na natin kung sino sino whahaha) and others... pero un nga when she saw the grades of the passers and non passers, dun na daw cya na-shocked coz test 3 n 5 got the score. She discussed the formula used in the boards:

average 1= (S1+S2+S3+S4)/4

average 2= (S1+S2+S3+S4+S5)/5

test 5= (average1+average2)/2

so ayan ang napagaling na formula na nagbigay satin ng undeserving grade natin...

Sir Tadle naman na the reason he's fighting for this cause is that even though he is not a nurse is that the issue concerns all of us, not only the nurses but the people to whom the nurses will care, and their purpose of them as a teacher to lead... "

"Kung hindi ka magsasalita, e sino pa? Kung hindi ka kikilos sino?"

Yan sabi nya...

Ma'am Tionko speaked up about the Coalition that they formed. They knew that there was a leakage and it was formed (the Coalition) to stop the PRC from releasing results of the boards till they came up and finished the investigation at dahil naunahan sila e aun, nag-iba naman so sa Oath Taking naman kasi nga the formula and the exam perse used is not a measurement of competence of nurses the fact that there was leakage etc...

Tapus there was an open forum...

• My mom was forced to speak up by Ma'am Guanhing and Ma'am Famorca to start the forums at medjo naging madrama ang mga pangyayari hehe...

She told nga about the time when we went home sa province and the relatives
congratulated us nga that I pass pero my relatives verbalized their doubts
whether I got a leakage or not, na for her e masakit ung masabihan nun kasi she knwe that we're honest and all the efforts of 4 years of hardwork, pagpupuyat at pagsusunog ng kilay e nasayang dahil sa leakage...

Na sana daw e tanggapin daw ng mga tao kung ano man ang magiging decision ng PRC about jan sa matter na yan... Na her position if there would be a retake will be oki with her and with my dad to proove to them na wala taung leakage, na di nya ako pinilit to come up with that decision, na its my decision...

At na sana daw e maging open daw taung lahat sa mga mangyayari

• A studennt from sec 4 told her side that she doesnt want a retake kasi alam niyang nakapasa siya without leakage and that she knows that her results are not tainted etc..

at sinabi din nya na bkt ganun daw mga prof natin na kaya parang may descrimination with those "avegare students" at mga "brainiacs" kasi parang profs are expecting na "brainiacs" deserve to pass etc...

• Sabi naman ni Ma'am Famorca na its not that they're discriminating but only its very unlikely na those people failed kasi nga they have seen their record na sa school etc at na

mag-ingat-ingat daw cya sa mga sinasabi nya kasi, oo nga, ikaw u know and think na u deserve to pass kasi u dont have the leakage pero are you sure that other people will think that way...

• A mother of another student verbalized na:

Bakit ganun ang UST na inaask nila ang mga PASSERS to retake at to boycott the oath taking etc... e dapat hindi naman, na kung anong stand ng skul at bakit may mga poll and persuation to retake na lanng etc...

• Sabi naman ni DEAN, na

UST's position is to uncover the truth and NOT for a RETAKE and UST will not to decide about that matters pero ang PRC at BON...

• Nina, sec 7 told that

I'm not asking for your support kung ayaw daw, ang kanya lang ilalaban daw nya ito, she'll ask help from congressman kasi she wants to be assured that hindi maaapektuhan ng pesteng formula na un kung papasa cya o hindi and for to have a clean boards @ december kasi napag-alaman daw na there was switching of scores sabi daw... at alam naman niyang nag-aral cya ng mabuti pero bumagsak parin cya at may anomally ng leakage aun...

• Mayor, sec 4 said

Na kahit passer cya e he wants to know the truth about the grades, and he is support on whatever UST's endeavor is...

Ayan... mga exerpts lang po...on what happen kanina

damn papers!

i bought the manila bulletin today after i went to mass..

two sections of it caught my attention:

1. "LEAKAGE lang ba ang paraan para pumasa?HINDI!!"-this was the heading of a paid ad (malamang) ng PENTAGON.. boasting of their passing rates..that they're the best, they have the topnotchers etc..
2. "WE CARE. Our Track Record. Our Accomplishment. Our Pride. WE STOOD FOR MORE THAN 10 YEARS OF EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE, QUALITY AND HONEST SERVICE" --RA GAPUZ Review Center. -duh. whatever.defensive po ba kayo?

parang ewan yung dalawang review center na to..magpublish ba naman sa iisang broadsheet on the same date! shet! hai dko alam bat ako naiinis sa kanila. lalo na dun sa gapuz. pareho silang nabubuhay nalang na parang wlang nangyayaring kaguluhan sa mundo nating mga nurses.

ganito ang appropriate na makita natin sa dyaryo sa sitwasyon natin ngaun e:

"our lives are on hold, thanks to you!"

-nurses of 2006

andito na lahat..

... ... ... hai kasi halo2 lang ang sasabihin ko e. today: ... ... ...

+alam nyo bang pagkagising ko at habang naglalakad ako sa bakuran namen kanina natadyakan ako ng manok ng kapitbahay namen?? hahaha! kamusta naman ang gising ko di ba! walang ka-class class! hehe..

+ayan.. so.. i'll just leave u guys with a pic of PHIL RITCHIE ng rockstar supernova. natanggal cya kagabi kainis! hehe..

anu.ba.yan.(!)

anu ba yan.

na settle ko na nga ang mga issues sa mga nanggugulo sakin, eto naman ang NURSING.

kamusta naman... sabihin na lang nila kung gusto nila tau maging nurse o hindi. wala nang churvahan sa tabi tabi (nahawa lng ako sa salita ng kaibigan kong c dekay).

ANU BA.

ANO BA TALAGA???????

ginagalit ako ng PRC na yan ha....AT masama ako magalit.

OATH TAKING SUSPENDED!!!!

ayun the title says it all... suspended hahaha

at ang CGFNS e suggested na wag muna mag-file dahil sayang ang money draft kung may pending case pa tayo... yun lang :)

tnx guys!!!!

hay grabe d ko akalain na maraming magrereact sa HAY!! ko na blog... hehehe... frend ko nga kayooooooo.... sobrang thank you... hehehhe... alam kung kaya ko 2... hehehe it's nice to know that you're there guys...

buhay

Ola! Como Esta?

nursing diagnosis:
alteration in comfort, pain related to presence of multiple mouth sores secondary to stress...

this is what happening to me... stress sobra... ang daming iniisp... kelangang gawin... ngayon ko na-fifill that there's little time na for cgnfs at meron na din kaming spanish class... hehehe... ayun... nakakapaisip pa din yang boards na yan kasi kahit pasa nga e ang dami na nagyayari na mag-baback-fire sa atin kahait we're honest

RRRRRJJJJJJJJJJ!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ovious na depress ka... hindi na kelangang itanung yun... and i emphatize on what happened to you and to the other 62. Hindi lang ikaw ang friend kong sinawing-palad... madami din kau... at nakakadisapoint kung bkt nangyari satin ito na we are cheated. Sorry I am the one who broke the news pero pangit naman if I lied... Ayun...

Pero, God will never give u something that u can't solve... bglaan nga lang kasi isang super major ang binigay sau... sabi nga sa homily kanina sa st jude...

Open your eyes wide on the things around you... What is given to you
may not be unexpected but in the long run, you'll discover the reason ...
God will never give something that you cannot do something about...

Nag-mass kasi kami sa St. Jude kanina and maganda ang homily... Maybe, this would be a test Rj to make you strong... Mdjo isang one time big time nga lang... At tama sila na its IMPOSSIBLE na walang leakage so, malaki ang chance that you got that result becasue of the anomaly... Hindi ka bobo, like what you told me before kasi kung bobs ka e d sana, d ka naka-graduate... at alam naming mga ka-RLE mu ang potential and skills mo...

The college is doing their best... Kanina e kausap ni Dean ang isang Dean na madre and a lot of meetings kasama sina Ma'am Guanhing, Sir Tadle, Ma'am Famorca at Asst Deam... may ginagawa sila so don't loose hope, pero sa ngayun, keep your self busy go on with life at mag-ipon ka! :p

Dito lang kami, kaya dont attempt to make tago tago!

Lahat tayo, malamang ganun ang mangyayari na go with the flow muna sa ngayon habang wala pang major hakbang ang college pero may ginagawa sila...

to aljay

aljayyyy....

alam mo naman nandito lng kami if ever u need anything... suportado ka naman ng ating kakaibang rle and the others! hehe...

just keep an open mind about the stuff that's happening to you. wag mo naman pahirapan sarili mo! alam mo naman na bilib ako sa powers mo "boss" (hehe), dahil di ka namin matinag nuon!

shucks kami ba ung nagsabi din na magkaproblema ka naman? yung retreat yan db? heehee...one time, big time ka pala magkaproblema. odb...at may pakialam ka na!


cge...
let's all hope for the best na lng...

HAY!!!!

hay... naku... ang hirap pala nang my mga iniisip no... kailangan ko ngaun ng peace of mind... d ko p alam ung ibig sabihin nito dati akala ko joke2 lng na peace of mind kadalidaling gawin.. pero bakit d maalis sa isip ko mga nangyari... ansakit sa puso literally ksi minsan sa kakaisip ko sa mga nangyari kinakabahan ako at sobrang lakas ng tibok ng puso ko....

ganito pala ang magkaroon ng totoong problema.. naalala ko tuloy sabi ng kaklase ko dati na bakit hindi daw ako nagkakaproblema at sabi mgkaproblema nman daw ako pls... hehehe

ngayon my problema n ako... kaya ko ba 2??? oo nman kakayanin ko to'... ansakit din na marinig na umiyak si mama dahil sa mga nangyari.. all these years i've done good to all the things... pero ngayon binigo ko sila... hehe

ayaw ko nang magisip.. pero sabi nga ni kuya- ok lng yan dahil d nman credible ung board ngayon, my nkapagsabi pa nga sa kanya na natatakot daw ung mga kakilala nyang pumasa dahil nung 1987 daw na board e nagkaleakge din daw at na-ban ung mga nkapasa dun a US... ewan ko lng kung totoo...

marami akong iniisip at nirarason para matangap itong pagkabagsak ko...

hay nako... niloloko ko lng b ang sarili ko??? o ito ang paraan para maka move on??

TRASH,CORRUPTION,GREED and all sorts of STUPIDITY!!!!!!!!!!!

this is originally from a previous post somewhere else hehe.......

this is the week that killed me..........

this would also be the week that would make me more mature...................


the damned board results are out.............guess what i fuckin' failed....y? coz of my own stupidity that i could pass it with 1 week of self review....HAHAHAHA poor me stupid me....

i havent learned from my mistakes and still i did it...so what NOW.... i learned a hard lesson....to fail my family and school is much worse hahahaha....what a selfish son only thinking of himself!>>>>>>>

now i've accepted it

NOW i realized that its time to change yet again i should just do it not say it.....its better done than said.....

...... and to the other issues this week..................

PEOPLE in the government seem to be the stupidest greediest money grabbing people in the whole world.......... its the lair of CORRUPTION, DECEIT and all sorts of shit (haha i ran out of words i might say) anyway whether from the stupid president down to the SUPPOSED to be "DIGNIFIED and HONEST" people of a particular BOARD of a profession it seems no one is assured of good SERVING PEOPLE......nowadays it is rampant that people no matter where you go especially in this wretched COUNTRY are what we call "BASURA".... they exchange their DIGNITY their LICENSES their DUTY for a certain amount of MONEY....well in my opinion they should all pay for their wrongdoings...... first the stupid "president" who thinks that she could get away by controlling all the other departments in her term as the so called "president",,,,, well there will come a time for her DAMNATION!!!!!!!!!!
next in line are the two BOARD OF NURSING members......hmmmmmmmmmmmmhhh i suppose they are really good...............NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! well they are really good in exchanging their DIGNITY and their LICENSE for a certain amount of price.....well they' re not humans i think coz they can be bought for a certain amount of money.....all of the hard work they did to get to the status they are and all of a sudden exchange it for a certain "PRICE".... owwwww as a friend says they are the EPITOME OF SHIT!!!!!!!!!!! yes they are indeed the EPITOME OF SHIT....yes people you are not blind nor do have eye problems... you can read it aloud if you would like to....DEAR EPITOMES OF SHIT how much is your soul?????????????????? that is the big question which is all applicable to, not only to the TWO ASSHOLES but to the PIG, the FILTHY GAY PIG who distributed "UNKNOWINGLY" the said LEAKAGE......it must have been a really really large sum of money for them to risk all of their hard earned work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

well what can you expect here in the

PHILIPPINES

a so called CHRISTIAN COUNTRY wherein lies people of all kinds of SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what i can say is that the remaining GOOD PEOPLE stand up for the rights of all to have a "CLEAN COUNTRY" well you know what i mean..............lets put these kinds of people to their knees and put them where they should all belong....... to HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yes to HELL coz they have caused widespread havoc and destruction of lives here in our already poor country.............we got to fight for our rights!!!!!!!!!!!! i've got a song for them. it's also a sorta message for all those who are EVIL

“Ventriloquist”

Destruction, murder, war, chaos
All have a purveyor
Hidden by power
Using puppets for their fucked up show

Chorus

You think we’re blind to see
You think we’re deaf to hear
You think we’re mute to speak
To know the bullshit you deny you do

Using authority
The weak used by filthy pigs
To do their dirty work
Using others as cover ups

Humanity robbed off of their will
Forced to be blind
Forced to be deaf
Forced to be mute
Forced by the ventriloquist

well here it is!!!!!!!!!! the time for their damnation is yet to come and we have a duty to make it a point that it happens.............. IMMOLATION for their corporeal bodies, IMMOLATION for their souls!!!!!!!!!!!!! DEATH and SUFFERING is not enough for them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! as i have heard in a METAL song======== KILL THEM ALL LET GOD SORT THEM OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

a blue sky waiting tomorrow.

haay guys...

kung pwede lng, tatanggalin ko lahat ng anxiety sa mundo...

kung pwede lang, gagawin ko kayong masaya dahil nakakalungkot talaga ang mga nangyayari...

kung pwede lang, magtatayo ako ng hospital na tayo lang ang magtatrabaho (chaka c Dr. delicious, c Dr. richard, c Dr. crush-ko...hehe) bawal ang mga nagleakage!

at kung papayagan nyoko...
kakantahan ko kayo!!! (dahil alam kong gumaganda lang ang "singing voice" ko pag lashing...hehehe)

When do stars fade their light?
Does the moon and the sun make it right
For you the world maybe
Like an endless storm chasing a mystery
Is there hate in your heart?
Does your body drop and tell you to stop
Loving you or loving me
When it all falls down you just sing with me
Coz there’s a blue sky waiting tomorrow
Waiting tomorrow shining and shimmering
A blue sky waiting tomorrow
Waiting tomorrow
Maybe it’s all we need
Oh don’t you wash away that smile
You just look out the window and see the light
It’s beautiful to be alive
It’s wonderful to live a life
The sun is sure to shine
For you and me for everyone
So don’t be sad it’s just the start
Of a new beginning in your life
Rain will keep on pouring
Some things you can’t control
And while the sun seems far and hard to hold
It will unfold
There will always be a blue sky
A blue sky waiting tomorrow

(blue sky-hale)

-o db... c papa champ! eh hayaan nyo na maganda naman ang kanta...hehe.


alam kong mahal natin ang nursing... therefore hindi tayo papabayaan ni...


FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE.
kung nasan man siya. =^___^=

time machine

oo nga!
sakay tau sa time capsule/machine,
para mahanap natin ang nagkalat ng leakage,
mamatay na yang nagkalat ng leakage!!!
at mamatay na din ang mga pumasang may leakage!!!

nakakinis i'm so stressed...
as manifested by labile affect, 3 mouth sores and tongue sore...
di pa maka-move sa career path ko,
bcozanything could happened within 1 month before oath taking...

i'm so depressed...
walang makausap about these issues,
kundi kayu din na undergoing the same dilemma...
wala man lang magcoconfort dahil we're all feeling the same
even the chinese community,
we're avoiding because one of us didn't make it...
at ang hirap!!!
SAKAY NA LANG TAYO SA TIME MACHINE...

yeah baby!

i like the time machine part. gusto ko ung parang sa austin powers...yeah baby!
hehe...

wala lang.

sakay nalang tayo ng time machine

tapos sa umpisa palang ireveal na natin na may leakage.

dammit. i'm running outta ideas on what to do with this board anomaly.

sh*t.

chaotic

hay grabe talaga yang leakage sa boards...

pati ang mga innocent e nadadamay! its CRAP!!! Sana lang, the TRUTH WILL PREVAIL and the culprits would be PUNISHED!

lalong nagiging complicated ang buhay ko at natin!

instead na we're moving sa mga "lay-out plans" e, hindi makagawa ng move because of that! WHA! CRAP!

to retake or not to retake

gosh

grabe... ang hirap sa totoo lang kasi we deserve that R.N. to be affixed after our name...

but like what my mom said, it is better to fail and have not cheated rather that to pass cheating...

mahirap i-sacrifice pero its for the dignity naman. Pumayag ang mom ko to retake because of the long term effects the leakage will bring... like those pin pointed by Ma'am Famorca...

Will go to Lucena tomorrow. I hoped that in giving my open letter to those I know there e I could influence them to search for the truth...

bullsh*t!

(kahit na wala ako sa conference tonight eto yung mga gusto kong sabihin..)

AYAN NA CGURO ANG PINAKAWIDELY USED TERM NGAUNG ARAW NA TO.

ehhh.. bullsh*t naman talaga e! gnagwa nlang TANGA lahat ng tao. gumawa gawa cla ng gulo tpos di na nga nla mlusutan dahil huling huli na cla, pilit pa rin cla nagrarationalize using their warped reasons. di kami ganun katanga ha.grrr!

uist napanuod nyo ba sa gma…?
sabi ng dalawang bruha:

nawala daw ang manuscript nla days before the exam..

(duh..ran out of alibis? is that your best shot? ehh.. eto pala cya e! bat di nya nireport? at baket may test questions pa rin kahit “nawala” ang manuscript? pero ang totoong tanong.. how much is that manuscript in the window? arf! arf!)

o kaya daw baka may nakakuha nung pinapaxerox nya!

(xerox? baket? e di ba mimeographed ang exam? bat kelangan ipaxerox? baket?)

… … … … hai … … …

eto pa ha.. black sheep ng uste ang napupull down satin into the ground ha? kung talagang walang leakage.. isn’t he pissed off because of the issue? hindi ba’t kasiraan din yun sa kanya? its not enough that he gives a statement that indeed there was no leakage coz there’s no proof! wlang may matinong isip ang maniniwala sa kanya!!!!!! if he’s got nothing to hide, really.. i dare him to join us in proving the truth. cge lang.

--

i hope the lives of the people who instigated this damn leakage would be crushed, 100x more, for the utter chaos they have caused... for the currently tainted nursing profession, for the disappointment and trouble they have brought ...for NOT THINKING about the consequences of their actions...

akala ba nila hindi sila kakalabanin?

how stupid.

hindi ba nila na-realize that nurses are critical thinkers(except for them) therefore hindi sila titigilan. hindi sila titigilan talaga.

haay.

i just wish this will be settled soon.

but then...nandito nga pala tayo sa pilipinas.......

ingat ingat na lang sa kanila na involved...

42,006 minus 17, 821....yan ang hahabol sa kanila.

oh nde din pala mananahimik ang ilan sa 17, 821 na yan...hehe

ang dami nyan....

oOoOps!

hi guys!

sorry bigla bigla nalang ako umepal sa blog ha..
i forgot to introduce myself..

ako nga pala c vhel..

salamat sa pag invite! (ekai)
tma k ekai, i'll have my turn on whining..
kasi naman yung mga classmates ko nung hs all i can read in their blogs are:

"my life is too complicated"

"baket ba ganito?"

"pwede pa ba ako sumaya?"

well.. pana panahon lang yan.. at ngaun ang ating MOMENT. we all have our share of that weird ambivalent feelings. mixed emotions. parang wala tayong karapatan magcelebrate. pakiramdam ko.
haay. lam nyo ba.. may nagtop na tga-samin sa boards.

pangalan: paris, odyssey

naaaaks! pangalan palang pamatay na e,
pero hello?!!
naman ang school..

university of regina carmeli.

my cousin patrick got kicked out from our high school at jan cya dumeretso. so much for their reputation.duh..

haaaay.. peanut BITTER ba ako? may karapatan naman ako(tayo) di ba..
there are so many people who deserve to have their names on the list pero wla.
crap.

crap. crap. crap.
so much for our so much awaited results.

mY tiMe tO WHINE!

the results are out. i may be in it, but:

is this a cover-up of some sort for a mess that none of us did? we SOoOoO don't deserve this.

nobody wanted this issue. at least nobody from us. duh. we were nervous like hell, not knowing some others are already confident they'll pass: even with half of a brain--well that's all they have, half of it. right?

they say it's not true. whatever. i mean how many percent of the accused admit a crime that they actually committed? pero if there's smoke--there's fire.its that easy. i don't really care where this issue came from, what matters is that those responsible should answer to whatever they did wrong..

the people behind this know that the issue will eventually die, after the release of the results, since those who passed will probably be busy hunting for jobs and searching for a good, if not for a better life. i hope not. i am hoping that it will not die.

bket kelangang isakripisyo ang dangal ng ating mahal na unibersidad dhil sa mga taong umaabuso sa kanilang kapangyarihan? hindi sa lahat ng panahon tamang manahimik at hayaan nalang tayong tapak tapakan ng mga may katungkulang nagpapagamit sa mayayaman at nakatataas sa lipunan.

hmppf!

halo halo

mixed emotions...

ambivalent...
happy yet sad...
excited but not...
I'm very dissapointed though I passed the exams...
People are very happy for me but I'm not that happy for myself coz I know a lot of them are left behind...
Most of them are my friends...
And though some were not really friends but acquiantances, I am still sad...
It's not they're fault 'coz they did their part...
Ma'am Guanhing told me before that "It is unfortunate for us who are innocent"
Ayun, we are victims of this tradegy...
Malas ng batch natin, bakit sa atin pa?!
Pesteng GAPUZ YAN! Umamin na pero ha, ang lame ng excuse: May nagfax daw sakanila and they didn't know that it was leakage?! STUPID!
Pero like what RJ and others said, God has plans for us, we may not see it at first but eventually its true purpose will surface...
Tama yang gnagawa mo RJ, huwag kang magtago coz wala namang tayong magagawa if we run from the conflict (Stress Management ba?!)
Yap Ekai, I need Soul and Vitality Booster, Nanghihina na ako sa mga nangyayari...
One of my hs kada was also unfortunate, and nagtatatgo cya, sana na lng we could contact her tomorrow...
We're just here for you, kahit na hanggang usap lang e, that's we can offer na lng...
LOVE YOU GUYS! NO MATTER WHAT!

hay life....

hay naku... wala ako magawa ksi naghihintay ako d2 sa prc para matignan ung grade ko... knina sabi 1pm tpos pagbalik 3pm nman daw... hay sana wag na silang mambwisit pa no!!!.... hehehe

happy...sad...

i am happy.
i am sad.

ano gusto nyo unahin ko?

cge...

ung happy muna...


reasons why i am happy:

- i passed the board exams.

- i did not get lost in cubao today (cheer naman dyan)..and i rode the right train sa mrt. to monumento. yes. to monumento... i wont forget BONI station though. napakamemorable. ang isang babaeng taga bulacan, intending to go to north edsa should not be at boni station ng 8:30 ng gabi (i rode the 4th train na dumating! super full of people!!!!!!) well...absentmindedness... in its late stages.

- been hanging out with my super friends lulu and dekay (significant kwento: after training yesterday... they picked me up at libis and went to greenhills...may ginawa lng c lulu related to her work...then we went to katipunan to the usual tambayan of dekay and her ateneo fwends. so together wid her ateneo frndz naginuman kami. yes. somebody who just got lost sa mrt the day before shouldn't go home ng hilo dahil baka umabot nako ng makati nyan...so nag road trip ang mga tao! punta sila dito sa bulacan! oo buhay pa naman silang nakauwi. medyo di lng napansin ang mga humps sa village namin...

di ko na ulit gagawin un!

- im happy because astig team name namin sa training. we are the.....MEAN GIRLS. alam nyo ba mga ibang team names? brainy jazz, high spirits, A+ team...at kami...MEAN GIRLS. papakilala ko cla sa inyo!!!!

mean girl #1: jelly

mean girl #2: phoebe

mean girl #3: yshie

mean girl #4: flor

mean..uh...girl #5: jeffrey

:p taray!

- my mom really did something sweet to me today , its something that she normally does not do ...because i left the house super sad.

o cge..sad naman...

- 83% passing rate ng UST.

- i didnt want to go home today. but i had nowhere to go after talking to the trainer.

- i will drop the training, and its not because i want to. goodbye epixtar. goodbye mean girls. and less chances of meeting up with dekay and lulu kasi.................
- c mr. malabonga tlga... MALABO- nga. aun.

so un nga...

i feel so bad about everything.

but wala akong magagawa. kelangan ko ng SOUL BOOSTER (sabi ni ekai hehe)

hay hay haaaaaaay.

i want my own life.

pero....ewan.

BOARDS

congratulations fellow bloggers... hehehehe
pagbutihan nyo ha...

i know your still there when i need you...
dont forget to text me sa mga outing ha....
hehehe,huhuhu

people...

sigh!

i thought everything was put back where it belonged...

i know that no one is perfect...

and that everybody deserves a second chance...

to forget the past but to serve as a lesson and proceed with the present...

why is it that some people are still confined to the imperfections of the other whereas they too have their own?

why are they preoccupied on the wrong deeds committed and keep on blaming when it happend long ago?

why are they not giving the person the right to redeemed herself but insteed puts her down even more?

just a piece of my mind...

shoe shopping... among other things....

hmm...
hay hay hay...
alam nyo... nakakawalang gana... tlga... ang malamang maaaring mawalan ng kwenta ang almost 3 months of effort sa aral, 4 years of torture and sleepless nights...sana lng...

anyway... it can be really stressful thinking about the board exams and its issues... nakakapangit yan! heehee

rj! hahahaha... siguro TINAMAD ka tumawid sa tamang tawiran! hahahaha... nde naman ikaw ang BOSS ng alabang police! at minutes na punishment? TAMAD KA TALAGAAAA!!!!

so anyway... habang lahat kau ay nandyan sa mall of asia nanunuod ng pirates 2 (huhuhuhu)... at ako eto... eto.

kwento ko na lang ang araw ko kahapon....

so...thursday morning epixtar called me up because i had to meet with somebody. helloo...bumabagyo. anyway, come friday, sobrang maulan! my dad said i shouldn't go there na. but i was dressed already! so AGAIN, against my parent's wishes, lumuwas ako (OF COURSE, i had a limited budget ulit...damn...) i had OTHER plans din actually... i wanted to meet my super friends lulu and dekay. oo! lulusob ako sa bagyo just to see them!...(they're my childhood friends pala...used to hang out at each other's place)

sorry guys kung nde ko na yun magawa today!...pamiss naman ako ng onti sa inyo..heehee! madalas naman tau nagkakasama dati!

anyway.. the interview/orientation was okay, first na nakilala ko was HAROLD (glenn? glenn? hahahaha!) kc sabay kami nagintay... anyway... lulu was there waiting for me din. ay! ang kawawang puso ng kaibigan ko! i HAD to cheer her up! so after the epixtar thing, sabi ko, let's go see dekay! i haven't seen her since fourth year highschool!

so go kami sa may countryside village...and along the way... i realized... I MISS PASIG!!!!!!
HUHUHUHU...
daan kami sa rosario church where i once participated in their sagala...
daan kami sa may de castro where we bought tinapay...
daan kami sa may dona juliana where we dropped off some of my busmates...
daan kami sa CIUDAD GRANDE! oh i miss everyone sa village ko datiii!!!!!!
nakita ko ang krazyQ kung san ako natuto mag billiards... haaayyy!
but definitely! nde ko na miss ang traffic! hehehehe

anyway.. thanks sa spatial intelligence ni lulu (sha nagsabi nyan)... nakarating kami sa house ni dekay!

so nung nandun kami of course, we updated each other a bit. we talked about our job hunting days! hehehe... our being overdressed during interviews, adventures, and shempre tips from lulu, the kind of work we're going into...what type of employee kami (example: lulu- seasonal employee --> tag-ulan na kaya nagresign na cya hehehe!) and also i also saw some pictures nung bata pa ako (nyeeeeee...chubby cheeeeeks!)

then dekay asked us to accompany her sa galleria to go shoe shopping! weeee...hehehe... she needed shoes for her work!
so libot libot sa galleria, we kept dekay from being distracted to buy other stuff ( focus dekay... focus) hehehe... mahirap tlga maging babae lalo na kung may shopping mney ka!

shoe shopping: parang sa lalaki yan...andami dami mong nakikitang maganda, mahirap pumili... PERO! pag nakita mo na ung THE perfect shoes...tigil na ang shopping dahil un na un!
(dekay, lulu, flor, 2006)

and nakasabay pa namin sa elevator si jackie lou blanco (katabi ko!)... aun... napabili din ng blush-on ako... mahirp na magmukhang pasyente sa first day ng training! hehe

we ate sa isang thai resto...yummy bagoong rice! (ooops.. i ate something bawal...---> kating kati na ako nung pauwi ! hehe)
so..we talked abt highschool and gradeschool days!
didn't remember throwing up sa car nila dekay when we were still kids hehe!

so un...
it was nice hanging out with them... to see na nothing has changed sa friendship namin... kahit na sabi nila nawala daw ako sa "circulation" for a while :)

cgro... kaya din i pursued a job sa libis...to be with my friends i miss most :)

aun... these things has helped na rin in a way to distract me from being too anxious abt the board results... and to rethink stuff too :)

basta guys! kaya natin toh! sabi nga ng mga koreano : AJA!
(melai...enge naman kami copy nung asian civ nateeeennn)

let's just hope for the best... hmmm pede din tau mag rally sa tapat ng prc kung gusto nyo...hihihi!

haaaayy...life.

Jaywalking!?!?!?!

jaywalking is not in my dictionary... it doesn't exist in the Philippines for all i know even though my superego knows that there's a law regarding jaywalking... hehehe

well it exist in alabang for your information.... let me tell you a stupid story about jaywalking...

july 10, 2006........ @ quarter to twelve noon

I was sleeping like this... 'supersleep dba'

then my CP rang cause i've got a message...
just a number displayed in my celfone saying oi! punta k b, d2 n kmi atc.
what? who's this? even though i have a hint that its anna i asked her who she was? then she told that she got a new number and that ekai, yyen, zherdy are already with her in atc....

OMG i thought that monday lunch with anna was cancelled because yyen might not make it in manila that day.. i texted melai the day before: ei! 2loy b 2m? she replied no, ireresked daw.. ok that was fine and yet 'natuloy'...

so back to the text anna asked me if i can make it.. then i said yes and i immediately jump off my bed, took a shower, fixed myself and i go directly to atc.... but not Directly... hahaha...

i don't know how to get to atc, i texted them that there's a bus in slex that stops at alabang and we decided that i'll text them when i arrive there... then i took the bus and down the alabang palengke (if that's really the place...) i texted them to asked where would i go or what jeep will i ride... but you know i'm impatient so i walk where my feet would bring me waiting for their text!!!

@ one pm

i go to alabang terminal cause i know there would definitely have a jeep going to atc... then melai called that i should ride a zapote jeep... then i found one zapote jeep but it's still waiting for 'pasaheros' so i decided to go back to palengke cause iv'e seen zapote jeeps there... i run because i am super late for a lunch right!!??

as i was about to cross the street i saw that the traffic officer was about to let the cars pass and i would be late for crossing that pedestrian lane... so what i did was to cross the street making a slant line and at the end of that slant line was a girl in a uniform standing there , waiting there and said what did you just do?? and i make up stories that i'm in a hurry cause i need to get in asian hospital and asking directions where i should go but then my AWA EFFECT was not effective and told me that i need to read the law regarding jaywalking and its punishment... wahhhhhhhhh!!!!

then she accompanied me in their police station and another woman was sitting there (as if she knows that im another stupid jerk that jaywalked) she passed me to her and accompanied me upstairs where the little law regarding jaywalking was hidden.(hehehe as if it is in a cave) then i saw a stack of chairs where a dirty folder with a short bond paper pasted in it... ow!! it's the law that they are saying... then i just scan over it and i saw
FIRST PENALTY: 100 pesos or one (1) day na pagkakakulong.... SHIT!!!!! wala na ako money!!!!
the woman said you need to clean at the front of the police station.. then i asked if i can do that fast but she said i must do it in hours so i immediately get my wallet scan over it and i only saw a whooping 170 pesos wow... i took the 100 peso bill and gave it to another lady who is issuing a receipt... (wow sosyal, my receipt p db??!!!)

@ quarter to two pm
i texted melai that i was caught jaywalking and that i don't have money.... and she texted me tutubusin k b nmin dyan?... hahaha i laugh out loud there that i made a stupid thing in my life JAYWALKING

.......whew that was a tragic story at alabang......

at the end i arrived at north park @ two pm to have lunch.. yes lunch at two pm... as i enter i saw yyen, ekai, melai, zherdy and anna waving at me with their ''look at the stupid who jaywalked'' face.. hehehe

THE END......

Thank God!

"The truth will set us free.", Melai told me few weeks ago after the rumors about the leakage in the board exams surface. And she was right... God made it possible with the help of those people who took risk in telling the truth about it.

Just this evening, it was reported @ TV Patrol that PRC has proven the leakage to be true and that 2 of the Board Examiners leaked it few days before the exams. They are requested to go down from their positions. And that the investigation would be transfered to the NBI (maybe for the lawsuits that may be filed to the board examiners as well as to the others involved.) Grabe ha... sayang sila, it is a prestige to be appointed as a Board Examiner and then they exchaged their honor for some leakage? They have their reasons pero I thought that they haven't thought it over too hard before doing that decision... to think na ang daming pwedeng i-file in not compliance with the following:

BON Res. 220, Code of Ethics of Nurses, RA 9173

and they haven't thought that their license might be cancelled because their act are case of moral terpitude. WHA! Samantalang tayo, we're really aspiring to get that license, and sila, they wasted it! What a shame!

Grabe... sabi ni Ma'am Llanes, just wait for the results... cguro that would be the time, the PRC would gave its decision to the people who cheated... Good Luck to us!

the great debate at bagong papable!

hey guys...


oh flor, oki ka pa ba?! ako grabe, natuyot ang utak ko sa mga arguments ni phil but he really make sense in some aspects only! haha. pero napaka-serious nya pala with those kinds of matters... ekai, u could relate, yung tungkol sa debate na "men are all the same" on the part of breaking a gurl's heart and phil will defend it... so u have an idea, bes mu un kaya alam mo kung panu tumakbo ang utak nya hehehe... basta sa mga usaping ganyan e PASS na TLAGA AKO! grabe... sumakit ang ulo ko nun after haha


e2 ekai and melai,
want to share with you my latest fantasy: Cristiano Ronaldo, #17 Portugal Team sa FIFA World Cup... Though they only ended 4th place e, I can't deny that he's worth drooling for... YUMMY CYA! kaya mas lalu kong na-appreciate ang football / soccer dahil may muy gwapitong nakikita... AT HINDI CYA GAY... un lang ang masasabi mo... just see him play, kapag nakita nyo ang "the moves" e ewan ko na lang...

He's just 21 years old, Feb 5, 1985 is his birthday... from Portugese National and Plays for Manchester United when FIFA World Cup is off season... want to share some pics...

hay gwapo!

hay hay hay

grabee ekai...
u should stay up late and join the late night talks...with the late night people (meeh, tina, leann, joycie, maan, phillip....).
pero ako... ayoko na... hee hee...

:)

hahaha tinaaaa....
I DON'T WANT TO BE LIKE THEM!

kahit na mag c-call center ako... i did promise myself that i would NEVER NEVER forget the things i learned as a THOMASIAN nurse.

hahaha... tawang tawa ako dun sa MRI thing. really! they didn't know that a dye was going to be injected?... 'hospital policy'...what a safe answer...but it's not acceptable! dyan pa naman gigil na gigil ang mga CI natin... especially if you're the team leader!
and THE endorsements play a big part sa duties db? wala ba silang worksheet? :)
AND the #1 rule: ALWAYS check the patient's chart!

hay hay...
it can get really crazy when you take care of someone in a hospital, haha...being familiar with most procedures and nursing responsibilities, and THEN...you see the hospital staff not doing their job properly!

anyway, let's not forget...once upon a time, we were also like that. as beginners, we had our share of embarrassing and zoned out moments! but then, the nurses in your story were RNs already...whatever happened to...COMPETENCE?

so guys.. ill be working soon... im still going to consider myself a semi-bum (meron bang ganun?!) hahahaha
yes i won't be able to apply my knowledge and skills as a nurse (maybe some though)... just one thing i guess, i want to be as competent as i can be. here is a good opportunity, and i'm just going to make the most of whatever this is!
and oh, sobrang change of plans na ito!!!!!

when the guy at epixtar told me: "congratulations...ill see you around".... waaah! it didn't sink in just yet... at that moment...not until i got home and i remembered our clearance day (after the CHAOTIC clinical-instructor hunting days...) sa ed tech room when the clearance professor said: "tapos ka na sa lahat? well.. congratulations, ggraduate ka na!" and she gave me a great smile.....parang...wow...i made it...

:)

perooooooo....

ohhh board exams!!! hindi dumaan ang isang araw na hindi ko inisip ang maaaring idulot mo sa buhay ko!!!!!

hahahahaaaaaa....

Hey Hey Are You Okay? Part 2

So I saw my angkong in the MRI room be placed in that machine. I also heard the nurse saying the NECESSARY health teaching that should be disclosed to the client like the entire procedure, the dye etc. He aslo told me that the procedure will take aound 1 hour and led me to the waiting area.

It was almost 3am when we got back in the ward and after which, not a single nurse went in to do health teaching post procedure.

COMMENT: As far as i know, after a procedure in which a contrast media was infused, it is the responsibility of the nurse to encourage the client to increase oral fluid intake to wash out the dye out of the body, and yet not a single nurse went in our room to tell that. If they assumed that I am nurse, even so, that is their responsibility and therefore they must do it. I am frustrasted so I myself did the job of advising my angkong to drink lots of fluids and explained the rationale behind that action.

4th day, July 7, 2006 (3rd and last day of duty)

My mom came early to accompany me because she assumed that I would be sleepy related to the procedure done to my angkong and because I would be heading home that day after the duty of 3 days and 2 nights without going home. It was around past 10, I am in the CR and the nurse for the day came. Let's name her nurse Z.

Nurse Z: Ma'am na-MRI na po ba si sir?

Mom: Kaninang madilang araw pa tapus dba?

Nurse Z: Ah sige po thank you.

COMMENT: Doesn't she know that the procedure was already done? Didn't she read the chart before going to the patient? Doesn't she attended the endorsement of the staff. Gosh...

My mom was irritated with that and even more when I told her the incidents the previous night. She was shocked with the nurses because of the fact that my angkong was confined in a US accredited hospital and in CVU unit.

So, I went home after lunch, that was my break after a long duty in the hospital... That night, my mom called up and told me the good news about the discharge orders the next day. So I am already relieved with the situation.

5th day, July 8, 2006 discharge day

My mom and I went as early as possible, around past 8 in the morning to pay the bills so that we could go home early and to prevent the room rate to be charged for another day. The Previous day, July 7, my mom talked to Nurse W, and told her about the PF of the doctor. (USually, doctors don't leave those kind of information in public for confidentiality reasons) She requested Nurse W to follow-up the PF so that we could already pay the hospital bill and be discharge as early as possible. But it turned out that it was not done, and was not endorsed to the next shifts. My mom was really angry and talked to the Charge Nurse of the day. She was very sorry for the inconvinience and told mommy that it was not endorsed, verbally nor written in the worksheet.

So, we went back to the room. A nurse came to remove the IV of angkong. I told mommy, that he looks familiar, that maybe he is a Thomasian. My mom told him about the incidents that happened previous days during my duty. She then asked:

Mom: San ka nga pla graduate?

Nurse: Sa UST po.

Me: Kaya pala you looked familiar. Batch ano ka?

Nurse: 2004. Kaw?

Me: Kakagraduate lang...

Nurse: E, tapus na ang baords, pasado na.

Me: Hindi pa, wala pang results kasi nga may leakage. dba?

Nurse: Ah oo nga, pero hindi yan, papasa ka, sure yan.

Mom: Ei, huwag kang papartner kay Nurse X dahil ang daming gnawang mali (then she told the incident one by one)

Nurse: Ma'am I'm very sorry po sa nangyari. Sana sinabihan ninyo yung nurse para alam niya.

Me: Yes, sinabi ko ung mga mali niya pero masama naman maging harsh kasi I'm still a new grad and without a license pero aun, sinasabi ko kapag alam kong mali.

Nurse: OO nga tama yun. Ma'am sorry po ulit. And also will follow-up yung discharge papers nyo. Sige po.

COMMENT: Finally, a Thomasian graduate. At least he knew the principle in management to say sorry when the patient verbalized incovinience with their service but not really accepting the wrong doing of the collegue.

After the incident, the Thomasian Nurse and the Charge Nurse did a lot of follow-up so that we could obtain the PF, the last requirement for the billing section. They even used their own cellfone load to call the secretary of the doctor to accomplish the task. At least, even for the last of stay, nakabawi kahit papano.

The sisters of my angkong wanted me to do a letter of complaint for those nurses who have negligence on their duty as a nurse and a letter of commendation to the nurse who did well like the Thomasian and Charge Nurse because they saw the issue as an urgent matter that needs to meet by the institution to serve their clients well and I agree on them.

REFLECTION:

With that experience, I realized that indeed, the quality of nursing service in our country is in decline. And sometimes, schools are to blame because they didn't mold their student with the necessary competencies, a nurse should really possess. On the part of the staff nurses in the incident, except for the Thomasian nurse, they were already regular pay nurses , and it is sad that they still don't know the right attitude on how to interact with clients and their responsibilities as nurses. They didn't assess for the affected are-the infected wound which was the chief complaint for admission but only checks the IV and I & O when the end of the shift came. What would they chart if that's the case? They just carrying doctor's orders without knowing the rationale behind each action they are doing, they're just contented to say that it was ordered by the doctor or a hospital policy to be followed.

I know, I am still a graduate without license compared to them that they practise what they learned but why is it like that? That despite the fact that I'm a graduate without a license, I know the responsibilities to be done that they neglected to do.

This experience served as a lesson to me as a future nurse, when I passed the licensure exam ( I hoped), to do justice - to give what is due to my patient, and not to repeat the mistakes of the nurses I have encountered in that hospital.

And to other nurses, do you want to be like them? I dont wanna be like them.

Hey Hey Are You Okay? Part 1

Its been a while since I last posted here, that's because I had a task to accomplish and that is to look after my angkong(grandpa) during his confinement in the hospital. He was confined there related to infected wound below his right first metatarsal bone. The slow healing process can be brought about by his DM and the condition worsen because of self-medication and for late consultation to a physician. Even we didn't expect that to happened

So there I was, looking after my angkong during his stay in one of the most prestigious hospitals in the Philippines (take note: it has an joint accreditation from US). He was confined in a private room in a CVU (cardiovascular) unit so we expected that nurses there are competent enough because it is in fact a CVU unit.

1st day:July 4, 2006 (according to my tito and be ko ma - grandpa's youngest sister)

My angkong was confined at the unit at around 7pm and Co-Amoxiclav/ IV was ordered STAT by his physician. Because it was an antibiotic, skin testing should be done prior to adminstration. 9pm na na-skin test! ang dami pang reason. So, after a negative skin test, the antibiotic was already administered 10pm by Nurse X.

COMMENT: e hello? STAT order nga, 2 hours before makapag-skin test! ang tagal ha! major delay! kaya nga STAT - ASAP!

2nd day: July 5, 2006 (1st day of duty)

It was just an ordinary day, nothing special happended compared to the previous day. During night shift, my angkong was asking me the regarding his IV. That why is it not consumed yet well in fact it should be consumed in 24 hours. The regulation was KVO so I assumed that it was 10gtts/min as always during our duty at school. So when I tried computing it, it should be already consumed within 24 hours. SO I asked the nurse Y.

Me: Nurse, tinatanong ng lolo ko kung bakit hindi pa nauubos yung IV?

Nurse Y: Ah kasi po ung regulation ay KVO, so that's 10ml/hr. So aound 240ml/day po ang maco-consume. E 1 L po ung IV so mga 4 days po un.

Me: Ah, thank you.

I really thought that his answer was wrong so I texted some classmated regarding it. Almost all of them answer 10gtts/min. So I wondered why it was different. Then Chinny texted me. Her answer was the same with mine but she also referred the book as reference. Then she found out that it was really 10ml/hr - the answer of Nurse Y. We were corrected. All along we thought that it was 10gtts/min. At least the wrong info was corrected.

3rd day: July 6, 2006 (2nd day of duty)

Around past 5 in the afternoon, a resident fellow visited my angkong to check the condition of his foot, whether the drug is helping in combating the infected, to check the site for improvement... we also talked about angkong's CBG monitoring, so we agreed upon that CBG monitoring would be done BID, pre-breakfast, and 2 hrs after dinner. After some time when the fellow left, the Nurse X who did the skin test enetered...

Nurse: Excuse me sir, kukuhanan ko po kayo ng CBG bago kayo kumain ng dinner... anung oras po kayong huling kumain?

Me: Nurse, mamaya pa siya i-CBG.

Nurse: In-order ng fellow na TID ang CBG monitoring niya.

Me: E kakaka-usap ko lang so fellow kanina lang and we decided that CBG monitoring would be done BID, pre-breakfast, and 2 hrs after dinner. I-check mu.

Nurse: Sige po pero ang in-order po talaga TID, before meals. Sige po babalik na lang po ako mamaya.

(after few minutes...)

Nurse: Ay ma'am, tama po pala kayo... Pasensya na kayo... babalik na lang po ako mamaya.

COMMENT: Nurse, dba it is a must to establish rapport first when making interaction with the patient? And are you reading your patient's chart before entering the room?! Why is it that you are not familiar with the procedures that would be done to your patient?! Don't you know that on what you're doing, your misleading the patient, adding an unnecessary expense to their hospital bill and that you may be held liable when you do a dependent nursing function which is not ordered?! Gosh...

At around 730 pm, the sisters of my angkong who happened to be nurses and my tito visited him. We were discussing the incident regarding the late admisnistration of the anitibiotic and the CBG when Nurse X came and said:

Nurse: Excuse me sir, what time po kayong huling kumain?

Me: Around 7pm.

Nurse: Ah oki po. Starting 8pm, NPO na siya, dahil i-MRI po siya mamayang 12mn. (then she exits the room.)

COMMENT: She used the term NPO? Hindi ba that's a technical term and that it's a NO NO during health teaching dahil baka hindi ma-understand ng patient? Panu kung hindi kami nurses? E d hindi naman maintindihan ang mga pinagsasasabi nya jan... NPO for MRI? Is that possible? E wala namang sinabing may iaadminister na dye or something. She even didn't explain the reason for putting the client in NPO.

The nurse came at 830pm to check the IV.

Xa Ko Ma (3rd sister of angkong): Nurse, bakit kelangang i-NPO ang patient? E ako nga, na-MRI sa head, hindi naman ni-require ng fasting?

Nurse: Ah BAKA po kasi may iinject na dye e. Sige po. (Then she left the room.)

At around 10pm, rounds, a new set of staff nurse was assigned to my angkong...

4 Nurses: Hi Sir! Good Evening po... What time po kayo huling kumain?

Angkong: 7pm.

Nurse: Ah oki po. mamayang 12mn po kayo i-MRI, susunduin na lang po kayo mamaya.

Me: Bakit po kelangang i-NPO? May contrast medium po ba?

Nurse: Ah, hospital policy during MRI na NPO for 3 hours prior to procedure.

Me: Ah oki.

COMMENT: It seems ngayon lang ako nakarinig ng NPO as a hospital policy during MRI, e wala namang sinabing may contrast media. It seems that they are making my angkong do unnecessary fasting which is kawawa naman on the patient's part.

The night duty nurse came, Nurse Y, the nurse I asked regarding the KVO thingy.

Nurse: Hi Sir, Kamusta po kayo? Ako si ___. Kamista na po kayo? Tingnan ko lang po yung paa niyo (which was the affected part).

Me: Wala po bang contrast media ung MRI nya kasi sabi kanina nung nurse (the 8pm nurse) na BKA meron daw.

Nurse: Wala pong naka-order basta po hospital policy sa MRI yun.

COMMENT: He was the 1st nurse during the whole day who came to the room not to check the IV nor the drug but to assess the affected area. Yung iba, chinecheck lang ang IV at hindi ung affected area. Dba dapat, ur frequently assessing the affected part for improvement to chart it? e anong i-chachart mo kung you'll not gonna inspect it?! Chaka why is it that hindi mag-jive ang information na binibigay ng nurses regarding the reason for NPO during MRI? Hindi ba dapat alam nila yun so that they could tell the patient?

1230 am came, my angkong was fetch to be brought in the MRI. I went with him to see for myself and also took this opportunity to clarify things regarding reasons of putting him to NPO, whether a dye would be injected or not because I am really confused on the things the nurses are telling me.

Nurse in MRI did his interview regarding presence of metal plates etc. You know, the usual things to be asked before proceeding with the procedure. Then I asked him...

Me: Excuse po, Bakit po kelangan i-NPO prior to MRI?

Nurse: AH kasi, may dye tayong iinject later and kelangan naka-fast so that the dye would be concetrated enough.

Me: E bakit po may dye?

Nurse: Ah kasi, it was ordered by the doctor. Maybe they want to visualize something to rule out possible complications. Maybe the blood vessels, to rule out dead blood vessels like that.

Me: Ah oki.

Nurse: A non hypo-allergenic dye would be injected mamaya, and after the procedure, please watch out for itching of the body, and redness, some possible bad side-effect ng dye that needs to be reported immediately.

COMMENT: So, may dye pala, and it was in fact ordered by the doctor, I saw it written on the POS. Why is it the nurses in the ward, didn't know know about that - the dye and the reason for NPO? Well in fact they should know it beause it is written in the chart. And why is it that they didn't do explanation regarding the procedure?
