Today half of us were assigned to our respective ward for e-trolley and laerdal resuscitator skill competency assessment.. while some others at skills lab for resuscitation skills.

It is still too early to say how i feel abt this ward even though i have worked in this same ward during my PRCP. Though I blend in well with the ward staff, but i think they have some degree of expectation on me. Coming back to the same ward may not be a good thing .. i feel a bit pressured . .. i need to improve some skills, which may not been taught yet.. I need to be confident, they always mentioned abt having good critical thinking and patient management and stuff.. which is too broad and general.. which i don't think i can learn in one day.... and communication skills, especially. Cannot say anything nice.. don't say a word.. jUst be nice...

Be patient and do not panic.. and do not rush into doing things. Must think , think , think!!! Do things with rationale.. but must also work fast.. try not to be too helpful, else i can't finish my own things.. prioritize .. try to avoid silly mistakes .. and don't be clumsy..


At the end of the day.. must be able to smile and be happy with what i have done for the day.. get back to normal, enjoy the rest of the day with my love ones.. And start fresh the next morning.

oh yah.. surely got unpleasant things happening very day.. so what to do?

I hope my friends are doing fine with their new colleagues.. and things get better for those who are not comfortable and those who have not get accustomed to the ward style.. All the best to all and lets get through this together.. for next 3yrs and see how it goes from there...
