aside from my 200 hours hospital internship at koronadal city (pingoy's hospital), my Christmas last year was merry. i bet, you already know why. haha. i spent most of my time in the hospital having 14 hours duty everyday. take note, everyday, meaning, i don't have weekend breaks! take note again, it was December. i started my duty on december 16 (but it should have been on 12th) and i ended up on december 31st, yeah, i celebrated new year at home and also Christmas (i got 24 hours break). as usual, i did familiarize all the drugs in the pharmacy, read prescriptions, dispense drugs, rounds to nursing stations, talk to patients, deal with nurses, talk to doctors, makiusyuso sa emergency room (esp gun shot cases), food trip (which includes our midnight snacks, balut and pork bb during my 9-day night shifts, 7pm-9am), movie marathon, gossiping with some interns, pharmacists and pharmacy aides and many many many many more!
at first, i was really really really really disappointed when i heard i was assigned in Pingoy at marbel. why? because i thought they will give me poor training. but i was really really really wrong! now, i believe i'm one of the luckiest interns! we have better trainings. we always have quizzes and exams, (others do not have) discussions and lectures, rounds and opportunity to talk and communicate with all the people there. we answer telephone calls and manage patients and computer systems alone, without even the aid of the pharmacy staffs. we work just like the employees, of course, that is without salary. haha. chos!
