#Yes I am employed.
The lack of updated posts is mainly because I am now employed in a tertiary hospital in Bacolod City. And yes, when I mean employed, I mean I have salary (unlike my previous work experience where I volunteer for more than a year without any cash incentives. Lol.)
I am beyond lucky to be working in an area where I am absolutely happy with, re: the Operating Room. Mainly because I used to volunteer in the OR too in my previous hospital, I don't get to wear the white uniform (Haha.), and I am fascinated with surgeries -- blood, gore, innards, included.
My work in photographs:
1. My shiftmates and I in lead aprons.
2. Our first week in the OR. Basically getting to know each other, being assigned in different areas, and adjusting (rather soon enough) to the work environment, pressure and toxicity included.
3. Our breaks, if it was possible. This was my shiftmate Nat's birthday.
4. That's my senior (aka master), Janzine absolutely exhausted and passed out. Oops!
5. Meetings - unit meetings, meetings with ICC, meetings with the Nursing Service blah blah. I hate meetings.
6. I was recently assigned to the General Surgeries Electives and Stat Rooms, here are my "bosses". And did I say I was the only girl in the GS? Meh.
7. We have time to fool around and make fun of each other in the OR. :P
8. Nica v Janzine. Fighttttttt!
9. Our workroom, where we pack our instruments, autoclave them - our usual tambayan and our place to talk about surgeons/anesths we disliked that particular day since it's a secluded area.
10. Since we normally cannot eat or we eat a speed of 5 to 10 minutes maximum (because it's rather hectic), my shiftmates and I take pleasure in eating after duty.
